Really interesting, our first Bandol Rose and an example that makes one appreciate the complexity this underrated category can provide - Orange/pink, medium bodied with a nose of strawberry, peach, apple, raspberry and stone, well made, complex, good acidity and balance, dry, smooth on the palate with very good length, nice (90 Points).

Nice overall, some strawberry notes along with some subtle tarry note, but the dominate tone for me was a neutral wood aroma. It had an somewhat interesting mouthfeel with modest tannins giving it a bit of grip. The tannins I sensed seemed to be different from those often experienced with wine and may have even been more akin to those from black tea.

Bright, fresh, delicious and refreshing rose. Hint of raspberries on the after taste. Floral nose, transports right back to St Tropez. Very nice rose.

Better than the last bottle -- weighty for a Rose, but not heavy at all. Beautiful Strawberry flavors. This is a killer Provencal Rose.

Boldly-stlyed with nice richness and a peachy freshness. Just a hint of alcohol on the finish ... otherwise quite nice.
