  Again a phantastique Rose. Sublime, reluctant, refreshing, blindly difficult to detect as a Rose. Raspberry, red currant and cranberry. Balanced, at his peak. 94

  Fresh red fruit and Christmas spice. A bit more development than last time, with deeper flavors. Moderate complexity/finish. Overall, lots of bottle variation.

  Similar to other comments, there is bottle variation. I found this bottle outstanding: huge nose of macerated strawberries, balsamic, floral elements, palate of dark red fruits, complex, acidity... much better at room temperature (and served in Riedel Burgundy glasses). Prior bottles seemed to acidic and disjointed (which could represent either bottle variation or that I consumed those bottles too early or too cold).

  I am assuming flawed bottle but this is a few bottles in a row that haven’t showed well. I think I’m giving up on Courtin

  NOSE: moderately expressive; non-descript, toasty red fruits; a touch biscuity.
  
  BODY: rich, coppery-orange color; medium-light bodied.
  
  TASTE: quite oxidative; moderately intense cherry-strawberry fruit combo; very "red wine-y"; 12% alc. not noticeable; no sulfur; no dosage; waaaay better than my previous bottle, which seemed to have multiple flaws. Gut impression score: low 90s.
