June 22, 2020 - Bought Tesco's UK online on promo price of £10.00, usually £12.00
Well chilled, screw cap.
This is the lower level label Rose' from Miraval, the £14 one being the AC Provence. This 'Studio' Rose' is Mediterranee IPG, not AC Provence.
Utter bargain. I was surprised to find this - Miraval's lower label - such an exciting, flavoursome, charming, dry-finishing Rose'. Tons of personality and outstanding value for money. Very nearly as good as their AC Provence Rose (and £4.00 cheaper).
T.....thrilling acidity balances sound fruit (quince, tart nectarine, lychee, rose petal, pithy grapefruit, peach skin, tart peach flesh, just a hint of strawberry), some ground almond; impressive concentration/intensity - is this really only £10 ? - and some length, lovely lilt at end. Dry style, pretty much a Foodie style, a touch of tomato leaf right at the end, but not in a green unripe way. Med+ body. It's Rose', drink up while the acid's fresh!
C....pink, looks medium body
N....not much, a bit of rose petal
VFM?.....the 2019 IPG Med' outstanding Rose for £10.00, off to buy more! Better VFM than Miraval's 2019 AC Provence at £14.002 people found this helpful 1,203 views
