Full-bodied Rosé tasting of cream, vanilla, and white fruit. An extraordinary and more complex Rosé than I have had generally had.

Малина, земляника, клюква, черника, рябина, мята, влажная земля, прелая листва, чуть затхлый подвальный тон. Среднее тело, с развитой, уже чуть начинающей съезжать за пик осенней органолептикой, ещё заметными танинами и оголенной кислотностью. Нос немного увядший, но в атаке вкус свеж и сочен, при нагревании смещается от красных ягод к чёрным, а при длительной аэрации начинает медленно распадаться. Вполне достойно, но не очень комплексно и со слегка дряблеющим мускулом. — 6 years ago
Nose has syrup-y cherry, wet steel, moist-dried leaves, very over-ripe strawberry, dehydrated strawberry and wet mahogany shavings.
Palate has dried sweet cherry, cane sugar, brown bread, ripe sweet cherry, dried blackberry with faint tannins and acidity.
Tawny ruby color.
Cork pulled for slow oxidation at 5H, in a nice spot at this time.
Clearly the better of our bottles, frankly I'm quite pleased by the palate, brighter than expected, somewhat generous fruit persisting.
Second of two bottles acquired in 2021, this bottle had the higher shoulder fill. Cork was a mess, but one piece extraction with the Durand.
Paired to duck confit with green lentils. 👌
Solid improvement with more air time at 6-7H. — 3 years ago
Lovely, pure cherry fruit. Crunchy acidity makes you come back for more and more. — 3 years ago

2006 vintage. The first vintage for Caroline Frey to be in charge. This shows beautifully now for a wine that was totally underrated by Robert Parker on release.While it may not have the depth and power of the greatest vintages of this iconic wine, this 2006 is a terrific wine in it's own right. Complex nose with spices, black fruit, tobacco and cedar. In the mouth it is beautifully balanced with bright acidity embracing layers of black fruit and spices and velvety tannin. Impressive length too. Abv. 14%. — 3 years ago
This was extremely enjoyable til I spilled my glass all over @Caroline Graham like a goddam yokel! Klutz life notwithstanding, this is bright and delightful, will be getting again soon. — 3 years ago

Vintage 2015 tasting with the WNH and Anne herself - she is an amazing person and one brilliant winemaker - she did this tasting from her heart and if you ever want to a wine rockstar that is humble refined and caring about the craft she is definitely the ticket
From her and I quote “A faint toast, part of a modest width of aroma. Also fine texture, less overt volume, but more line and a lovely mid-palate flavour – redder fruited – fine small waves of fine finishing flavour – simply lovely!”
I will add such structure and balance and it is just a baby - give this wine 5-10 years and it will be off the charts — 5 years ago
