5/11/10: My impressions haven't changed very much. Medium bodied. Good. 86-87
10/20/09: Purple color. Muted nose. Medium bodied. Nice spiciness, and some weight to the palate. Good, but probably not a bottle I'd reccomend for over $20. 87
Gorgeous nose. Medium+ bodied. Some tannins. Delicious stuff. I think I'd prefer to buy equally stunning rose's that are about ten dollars less, but there's no debating the quality here.
9/16/10: Bright nose. Has an Argentine nose that's surprising. Good fruit. Has that bright berried syrah thing going on. Some richness to it. Nice. 87-88
Softer and richer then the Petrignone. It's great stuff, more modern, but I personally wouldn't pay the extra money for this over the Petrignone ($30 Vs. $22)
