not blind A filigree rose de maceration, not tannic, hint of raspberry and strawberry. Elegant comparable with a Cristal Rose. Convincing and delicius. I love 2013. 94-95

Blind Tasting with the guys (Maison Cafe in Dana Point, CA): Disgorged June 2018, a blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris from Vertus. I believe some of this wine is done in concrete, and the wine overall sees an additional 4 years of time on the lees, i.e. it's 'matured'. Gorgeous light peach color, with stone fruit, good density and reminding me a lot of the Vilmart Emotion rose. As the wine saw more air, it picked up some flavors of kiwi, almond, more peach and even a touch of yogurt. Finishes with lime zest, fresh, zesty and elegant. This really showed a wow factor last night.

This appeared on my counter, courtesy of a buddy who brought it last night to be shared with dinner. Cool! I've yet to open any of my bottles so this was my first test drive with the Maturation. Disgorged June 2018. The color of this reminded me of Vilmart Emotion, a light peachy color. What stop out most for me was a very distinctive meaty, smoky note, mainly in the aromatic. At first I thought it might be some reduction but as time went on, I began to have a sense that this is the wine, imbued with some cool note of smoke and and game. Like Emotion, this was gentler, more lithe. Be interesting to see if one of my bottles when I open one will have these same features.

Way, Way too soon to drink this. Wait until 2025 to try the next bottle, if not longer. Great flavor, but overridden by the acidity.
