  100% early-harvested Malbec from Cahors, aged in new Acacia barrels. 13,5% alcohol.
  
  Luminous reddish-orange apricot color. The nose feels savory, a bit funky and slightly skunky with vague aromas of rowanberries, some vague spicy tones, a little bit of strawberry, light earthy notes and a hint of something woody. The wine is dry, somewhat dull and a bit stuffy with flavors of stony minerality, some vague woody tones, a little bit of crunchy red apple and white currant, light bitter notes of apple peel and a hint of ripe citrus fruit. The moderately high acidity lends good sense of firmness to the wine. The finish is quite acid-driven yet somewhat stuffy with a bit dull flavors of red apple, some crunchy white currant, light gravelly mineral notes, a hint of apple peel bitterness,and a touch of earthy spice.
  
  A dull, one-dimensional and somewhat mediocre rosé. It feels the wine is missing its fruit department for the most part and what is remaining doesn't really feel adequate enough to balance out the savory and vaguely woody nuances. Despite its moderately high acidity the wine is lacking in freshness pretty badly. Although drinkable, I wouldn't say this was a particularly enjoyable rosé.
