Light ruby core, rather pushing the envelope for rose (I've seen red Sancerres that are actually paler than this). A bit of heat on the nose, and some fresh red berry fruit. Dry, balanced acidity, a touch of salinity and bitterness on the finish. Rather full-bodied for a rose, and the alcohol feels quite high (though it is only 12.5%). The red berry fruit from the nose carries over well on the palate, and the length is medium. Holding up very well after 3 years.

Amazing. Did not think it would stand up after 10 years. Fresh and lively.

The oak is more pronounced coupled with hint of mocca. It's an interesting wine, worked well with chinese food especially chicken or pork dishes.

Very good. A rose to enjoy with a meal rather than a summer afternoon quaffer Has structure and length.
