In OC for family dinner, first wine. Last magnum from a stash bought from Garagiste
From prior notes:"Very pleasant pink/salmon color. Red fruits and strawberry on the nose. Crisp palate of melon, citrus, strawberry, wet stone. Easy drinking and great flavor - crowd loved it...Fruit is fading a bit, still crisp..."
Really nice balance of fruit and acidity. This is an elegant rose, consistently good in my experieince

Fruit is fading a bit, still crisp. Will drink last magnum over the Summer.

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!

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...

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.

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.

Subtle nose of strawberry and peach. A more sophisticated palate of crushed red berries, wet stone and a hint of salinety. A refined style of rose which I favor.

Fantastic. Dry aromas of wild strawberries, with flavors to match. Dry, persistent aftertaste. Very, very good.
