  Some VERY old vines here, at least far as being used for rosé goes. 100% Garnacha, average age is 70-90 year old.
  
  Ripe red cherries, ripe strawberries, orange peel, cinnamon and vanilla on the nose. Not sure if that vanilla is from oak or just the general "spiciness" intrinsic to Garnacha. Medium + intensity of aromas. The palate is completely different, being dominated by wet stone/desert rocks. A hint of sulphur and fresh thyme, as well as ripe strawberries too. But mostly, this tastes as if you licked a stone - in a GREAT way. High intensity of flavors. Overall quite complex and delicious at the same time.
  
  Medium body with medium acid. I bet this could age well. At the same time, I am hesitant to recommend that because it is so delicious right now.

  Consistent with previous. Excellent with/out food, balance and complexity, a go-to.

  This is the most complex and delicious rose I have ever tasted.
