Interesting to see it at this age. Orangepeel, some bitterness, quite refreshing, good balance, decent length. Quite good for a celebritity-wine. #Kandestederne

Thought this vintage was over & then this bottle appeared in the cellar. I would be worried, except this is Provence. (Bandol is the best for Rose ageing...this is #2 in my books.)
The floral aromas are no longer here, and the acid is falling off. That gorgeous pink color now carries an amber hue to it.
However, the palate is where the biggest change for me lies: instead of fresh-cut strawberries, there are flavors of sun-dried apricots & peaches. The texture has also changed – softer, more velvety.
Outstanding cellar find, and a great way to end 2018.

Okay, nothing that really stood out. Overpriced.

Another tasty bottle. A few years of age does nothing wrong to this wine.

As others have recently noted, this is still enjoyable. Perhaps lacking the fresh fruit of before but still delicious and complex.
