Lighter in color than some more 'Modern' and recent roses I've opened. Perhaps a year or two past it's prime but still showing depth and complexity, slightest hint of oxidation (soft cork when i pulled), minimal acid and tannins showing slightly off dry at finish. Drink up!

Lovely fruit, intense but at the same time quite elegant. Ripe Strawberries mix with slightly bitter orange, apples and rhubarb. Some notes of glue/turpentine. On the palate medium+ acidity and a bit of funk and herbs. Still lots of fruit but here more towards the redder spectrum. Medium+ finish. Really good stuff, but not your typical aperitif rose. Has the feeling of a serious wine. Save it for the main meal instead.

Drank with slow braised pork belly over truffled risotto. Big enough, yet nicely composed.
