 Tasted by drdebs on 11/30/2015 & rated 89 points: The fruit has faded, leaving crisp minerals and a very faint strawberry essence. Crisp and fresh. I preferred it with a bit more fruit on its frame. Still delicious! (1100 views)
 Tasted by tastark on 8/11/2015: Great wine from a tough vintage. (1259 views)
 Tasted by chifred on 7/26/2015 & rated 89 points: 47F PnP Light salmon. Reticent but refreshing nose without a lot of fruit; maybe due to the temp. Crisp and clean with stone and hint of berry (strawberry). Elegant. Certainly a crowd pleaser as 8 peole went through two magnums during cocktails, including some "really, rose?" people...

 Tasted by walkerjfw on 6/27/2015: MIT Sloan Fellows Forum - Meeting and Dinner in the Provinces: As an aperitif with cheeses and homemade pesto. From a magnum, batch purchased from Garagiste last year.

Bright and enjoyable rose, very consistent in my experience (1671 views)
 Tasted by T.E.D. on 6/21/2015 & rated 90 points: Nice color. Bright strawberry nose, some mineral elements. Palate was very fruit forward and bright with abundant strawberry, watermelon, lychee and some peach on the back. A touch of acid and little mineral, touch of heat on the finish. Very easy drinking with nice complexity. (1197 views)

 Tasted by tastark on 4/20/2015: Not as complex as I had been hoping, since previous vintages have been excellent, but this was a very difficult vintage in Provence. That said, it's well made and pleasant. (1161 views)
