2022 Athens Wine Event (CTC , Athens): Tasted blind. Guessed SQN . It’s almost a decade since we had this and actually we question back then if this would make the journey. Well it’s probably better now than then. Rose in only in colour the rest is pure SQN , massive and rich, amplified in all aspects, soft smoky too and an experience. We felt the wine deserved a 94 for all of the above albeit will not be everyone’s cup fo tea.

Casual BBQ Wines: Truffle, earthy, redcurrant and spice on the nose. Rich, spicy and with a flash of alcohol, this is incredibly unique. Long and powerful, this is really awesome to try.

Kleur: Zalmkleurig. Aroma / bouquet: Wow. Het eerste snuifje aroma stelt me meteen gerust: deze Cult-rosé is nog volop vitaal. Een heerlijk aroma van yoghurt en bosaardbeien met een vleug cederhout, zacht zoete kruidigheid, boenwas en kersen. Smaak / Afdronk: Zacht frisse start, mondvullend, boterzachte tannines. Fluwelig zacht mondgevoel, karnemelk, vruchtenjoghurt. Een afdronk met daarin wat kruidnageltjes, indrukwekkende lengte. Algemeen / potentieel: Wat een bizar-mooie rosé. 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 12 + Smaak / Afdronk: 17 + Algemeen / potentieel: 9 = 93/100

Color: Salmon. Aroma / bouquet: Wow. The first pinch of aroma immediately reassures me: this Cult rosé is still fully vital. A delicious aroma of yoghurt and wild strawberries with a hint of cedar, soft sweet spiciness, wax and cherry. Taste / Finish: Soft, fresh start, mouth filling, buttery tannins. Velvety soft mouthfeel, buttermilk, fruit yogurt. A finish with some cloves, impressive length. General / potential: What a bizarre-beautiful rosé. 50 + Color: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 12 + Taste / Finish: 17 + General / potential: 9 = 93/100

Johnny brought this to FHE after Hobel event. Much better performing than last time at Scoozi. Nice nose, funky, green olive, funky. Palate shows nice plump weight. Clean fresh finish. Real nice.

Monthly Tasting Group: Rose's on the Patio, or Not (Derek and Diane's, Mpls): Yikes, this was long dead and gone. I question the listed CT window of drinking through 2015.
