Decanted for 15 minutes before service. In the glass, clear, deep orange-peach in color. On the nose, the usual astringency of a rose paired with crushed unripe berries. On the palate, while it's by no means sweet, it's sweeter and riper than the aromatics might lead you to expect, combining high-toned astringency with pulses of ripe raspberries and stone fruit. A good match for mango-glazed salmon.

Didn't dig this one. I even paired it with dim sum and Django Reinhardt as the winemaker suggests... I thought the nuttiness was off-putting, it was like a botrytis wine without the sweetness. Not scoring it because it seemed like my bottle may have had a fault. Tried a glass chilled and another at room temp, then poured the rest out.

Served slightly chilled. This is enticing, balanced and delicious with just the right touch of nutty earth over brilliant, robust white fruit. Bravo!
