From 3L.

Mid red color with very light bricking.

The nose reveals; cherries, poached strawberries, spiced plum and just a hint of late to the party raspberries and rhubarb, red cola, dry leaves, dry soils-volcanics, soft, dry herbs, dry tobacco, used, dry leather, withering red flowers and red roses,

This is fresh, nice but it needs more 5-7 yrs more time in the cellar. Add a point then.

The palate is ripe, juicy with dry M tannin powder. Tart cherries, dry plums, rhubarb, strawberries, blackberries and some pomegranate and late arriving raspberries, dry soils-limestone-sandstone, crushed rock powder, bay leaf, very understated baking spices, dry tobacco w/ ash, dry, used leather, grilled meats w/ a touch of char, dry twig, steeped tea, some white & black pepper, soft Asian spices, withering to dry, red flowers, nice acidity, well balanced, nicely knitted, good; structure, tension & length 90 second finish that lands on dry earth.

3000 bottles made and only nine 3L’s. This is one of them. — 2 months ago

A bit too much cassis flavours for my palate which I do not recall when I had my first bottle about a year ago. Nevertheless a very good wine — 9 months ago

If you are having trouble distinguishing one pink pop from another, take a walk on the darker side. This full-bodied Pinot rose is delightfully delicious. — 6 years ago
