Pale salmon color. Beautiful, expressive nose that really bursts from the glass with floral freshness and juicy fruit aromas of mango, guava, and underripe strawberry. Really lifted, with strong notes of hibiscus and orange blossom. Makes the mouth water. On the palate, it's deeper and more contemplative. It gives the impression of being very structured, its medium body both stiffened by pleasant floral bitterness and enlivened by the tangerine acidity. The intensity of flavor is significant and the finish is long, but unlike the nose, where lots of identifiable notes jockeyed for attention, the palate is more integrated and ambiguous, giving a unified impression of just "delicious Bandol rosé."

Delicious and still has shelf life on it. Gorgeous color and complexity.

Tropical, lush, and quite delicious. Definitely evocative of Bandol.
