This is actually the 2011 but my phone app won't let me change the year after I added it. Lots of strawberry and watermelon. Dry on the finish. Good but not stellar. Not as good as other 20 dollar bottles.

Much better than the previous bottle. This was not a great rose, but rewarded saving the bottle for a year all the same. Essentially like the new vintage, only with the volume turned down (a good thing in the case of this wine). Missed the extra minerality that can come out in year-old versions of this wine.

A disappointment. Starts out a bit lactic. As it got some air, becomes more palatable, but never developed the minerality or interest I was looking for. Hopefully a bad bottle.

Vivid pink; fruit fading; crisp, retains freshness but little of interest. Weighty, long finish but unconvincing.

Better than my previous bottles last summer. I guess 2009 was sufficiently big that it needed a bit of extra time.
