P: Med body; RNDISH entry with "frt" (I think SWTISH?) almost IMMED met by a bitterness which briefly decreases, only to return by the LONG, "odd" finish with a swtness & whatever it is that off-sets it. I can't recommend this @ ANY price. :( [This vendor's $12.95 is $1 < anyone else on wine-searcher's MASSIVE listing.]

P: Med, poss LM, body; RNDISH entry with almost swtish initial frt yet with a harshness which DOES pretty much resolve by the LONG, very, VERY slightly bitterish finish with notes that remind me of a "mature" wine. [I.e., at least HINTS of oxidation.] I'd *not* WAIT on this, & while some might enjoy, it's definitely NOT for me! [This vendor's $12.95 is competitive.]

P: Med body; Very RNDISH entry with almost swtish frt met by almost a maderized firmness which somewhat mitigates by the LONG, somewhat maderized (for lack of a better description) finish. While not even close to my preferences in rosés, it's unique enough that I can see why some MIGHT like it. Nonetheless, I'd be SURE to drink it during the next 6 mos.

P: MF, poss Med, body; RNDISH entry with almost swtish frt met by a firming, bitterish acidity which pretty much extends through the LONG, slightly honied finish, the honied aspect SLOWLY replacing the bitterness. An interesting, SUBSTANTIAL style, though the mid-P bitterness IS troublesome for me.
