love this wine, esp with food (versatile - not at all like a pinot, but i find myself pairing it like one). hard to keep out of it and avoid the "half glass too much" sluggishness - it's different, intriguing and friendly. dangerous.
A very quirky wine that can stand up to anything. But upon opening, it smelled strange and we were concerned about cork taint or some other contaminant, but the odd nose quickly blew away and we were left with a deeply delicious, perfectly balanced and incredible rosé. Comparisons were made to Domaine Tempier and other Bandol producers but this is in a category of its own. Very fruity. Herbal tea notes with cinnamon, cardamom and allspice. Fun to drink something so quirky.
Drank this weeks ago (maybe in March so ignore date) Really nice as always. This is a substantial Rose, very intense flavors, good with food. Coravined the first time and ended up going back for more because it is just sneaky good. Others have mentioned a funky off aroma—I also had this and some metallic taste that I didn’t love. But give it some air and it burns off and becomes delicious.

100% mouvedre. Funky nose that dissipates with time. Very balanced and lots of fruit. A must try if you can.
