Not sure how the high alcohol (14.4% for a pink!) escaped me last time, but I definitely noticed it this time. It brings a cloying, sweet heat to the throat. This is still a good wine, though -- packed with strawberry, good acid, and really nice mineral. It's just crazy heavy for what it is.

This is pretty dreadful. Wife thinks it's undrinkably flabby, I think it's something else - there is acid upfront, but then massive glycerin or grease in the back. Flavorless yet oily. Interesting in a technical sense but dreadful.
I have 2 more, so I guess I'll get to see if this was a bad bottle, though if it's bad it's in no way I'm familiar with.
I love Loire Rosé and I've never had a Kermit Lynch I didn't love, so I'm shocked that this went down the sink. Maybe it was a bad bottle in a way I'm unfamiliar with.

Just a tad cloyingly sugary, and with a little heat. Would pair nicely with blue cheese. 14.4% ABV.

Still a delight. Acid, mineral, wild strawberry, all in spades. Paired exceptionally well with kale salad, interestingly enough.
