This is awesome. It’s a leap of faith for me to age a Rose but this one from Sylvain Patialle is apparently made to do that. It is complex and has a good finish as well. Better get some later vintages bought for the cellar as I am impressed.

Appearance: Bright and clear, it has medium pink color, with watery rims and legs. Nose: Clean, with medium (-) intensity aromas of red fruit of strawberry, cherries and raspberry, floral notes of cherry blossom and violet, stone fruit of peach, sweet spice of chive. The wine is youthful. Palate: Dry with medium (+) acidity, the wine has medium alcohol, medium (-) body and medium intensity flavors of red fruit of strawberry, cherries and raspberry, floral notes of blossom, stone fruit of peach. The wine has a medium finish. Conclusion: Good quality Marsannay Rose with a nice nose of decent complexity, showing interesting red fruit and floral aromas, the wine has good acidity, crisp and highly refreshing, demonstrating a finesse while showing good concentration on the palate, with decent complexity and finish. It is ready to drink now and not meant for further ageing.

Very "grown up" rose, some stony flinty reductive notes and yet soft pinot strawberry fruit. Has kept well but drink soon.

Barrel fermentation stands up to fatty, Santa Cruz Chinook.

Very intense, drinks almost like a light red instead of rosé. Red fruits and spice

Peterchoy's note below sums this up better than I can!
