  September 20, 2018 - Darkish ruby/tawny - slightly oxidative, aged nose - prunes, cherry compote - palate is fresh, more like a red wine - has pomegranate, cherry cola flavours, good length - definitely it's own style, wouldn't serve this "rose" to a newbie rose-phyte - medium bodied, and while not "hot", the alcohol does seems to stick out a bit - unique, points for that. Tasty.

  July 12, 2014 - Wonderful summer wine, refreshing, great deep rose color. A perfect afternoon wine to enjoy before dinner.

  April 20, 2013 - A bit odd for a rose, with a fuller body than I expected. However, it had a fairly flat taste without much fruit left. The one redeeming part was the uplift of acidity on the finish. This wine paired very with ricotta stuffed pasta shells in a veal tomato-based sauce.

  September 16, 2012 - Clear ruby. Clean nose of strawberries. Same on the palate, but the wine is ruined for me by harsh, alcoholic tastes on the finish. Not a rebuy. Dissapointing wine.
