  Color is copper. On the nose: Strawberry, minerals, stone fruits. On the palate: Sherry like , almonds, strawberry, minerals , peach apricot and apple, rose and dry tannins. This is excellent. I don’t drink Rose often and really wanted to try some Iberian Rose’s. This was recommended by my wine store go to guy. Really good.

  Served at about 55F. Minerally and dry with rose petal fruit, a tiny bit of orange rind and the light sherryish note typical of so many LdHs--more so than a stunning 2008 opened about two years ago. A good bottle, but not a great one.

  Good and interesting. Beautiful color. Mixes sherry-like flavors with citric and tart stone-fruit flavors. Really good with ham! $115 at DCDC

  Another nice rendition of this wine. Restaurant purchase, was difficult to stand up to spicier foods. I also feel like a bit of bottle age may add to the complexity of the 2012, which comes off a bit simpler than previous vintages. Interesting and sherry like, with orange rind and angostura bitters.
