  A bit too fruity for me, interesting, ripe, fuller rose'. Tournament of Rosés from Eric of Epicurus.

  A couple of shades deeper than the Stripes and Stars tasted 7 months ago, this was also a lot more expressive than its sibling. Nose was faint compared to the SQN Whites and Reds on offer, almost no nose at first, then faint hints of flowers, berries, lamp oil. To taste, it was fresh and lively, well defined notes of red fruits, shortbread, cut strawberries. Long and well developed finish that capped these flavours with a satisfying tart 'bite'. 12C was too cold for this bottle, 15C found it in a much better spot. This is probably at peak now, and well worth drinking up, especially with game, meaty fishes like tuna and Asian food.

  Found this one in the cellar! Nice drink on a weeknight. The maturity makes it interesting, but the freshness of a few years ago might have made it a little... fresher...

  Actually reasonably good, but can't call it a rose wine as so much bigger. Robust aromas of dark cherries and berries with a slight dirty quality. Ripe and rich with some depth, although a bit primary in flavors. Shows some warmth on the finish, but over quite good. Seems like across between a central cost pinot and a grenache. Was fun to try, but quite unusual.

  Sine Qua Non Dinner (Formento's - Chicago IL): Red berries, nicely mature to start, less interesting with more air. Also less interesting as it got warmer. Tasty enough, i'd pop-and-pour and enjoy quickly at colder than cellar temp. Prob better 5 years ago.
