Community Tasting Note

  • Decanting Queen Likes this wine: 93 points

    August 5, 2020 - I am a big LdH fan but had never tried the rosado. I was curious, so I bought a few bottles at the premium price. Absolutely loved it—nutty, waxy, and fruity. Like someone put raspberries and strawberries into my LdH Blanco. I will enjoy the bottles that I have, but unless I can find it at closer to the winery price, I’ll stick to the Blanco for a similarly pleasurable drinking experience.

    ps...did this not have the petrol overtones???

    Funny you should say about the petrol. I hadn’t noted it and couldn’t remember. But I just opened the day 3 glass I had saved (in a 4oz glass bottle) and the petrol is definitely there. And honey. And nuttiness. And something savory I can’t describe, and some delicate red fruit (although less fruit than day 1). But no kool-aid notes...
