Closed, tannic on opening. After two hours, much better with classic skin contact notes and a wonderful taste of medium ripe melon and touch of apricot.

Transparent, yet electric orange color. Strawberry, raspberry, some blood orange. Hint of jolly rancher sweetness. Medium body, but enough acidity to stay refreshing. This is a skin contact rose, which I think gives it more substantial texture and mouthfeel. Unique and flavorful, I am a fan.

drank 2018 and 2019 side by side. 2019: 12%, kind of a cool herbal character, hints of crunchy red fruit but overall comes across as just on the wrong side of under-ripe. tannic and austere. 2018: 12.6%, gorgeous depth, nice balance of freshness and fruit and weird complexity that somehow comes together in the best way possible. as stated by another taster: I expected these to be weird, but instead they're fascinating.

Paired extremely well with grilled pork chops. Much better than my previous bottle. This is a rose that needs food and doesn’t drink well on its own. Would love to buy more.

Similar impressions as the other bottles of this vintage. Hoping the prior vintage lives up to my recollections of it.
