Really good. Base year 96 (50%,) with 95 and 97 making the rest. Broad and ripe in the nose- roses and bread. A developing saline/ marine element. Very Pinot (all Pinot?). Rounded and lush without over-ripeness. Singular and very lovely — 9 years ago

On the nose, almost gummy style fruits. Strawberries, cherries, hint of very ripe cooked rhubarb, tangerine, some white citrus, sea spray, nice soft chalkiness & red & pink roses.

The palate reveals; some sweet & sour cherries & strawberry notes, very ripe rhubarb, tangerine, blood orange, passion fruit, lean watermelon, saline, nice grainy grey volcanic minerals that leave a long deep presence on your palate that could be mistaken for spice on the long set, sea shells, beautiful chalkiness, red florals and pink roses, nice round acidity and a long rich, polished finished.

This rose is an interesting change from the ones we've been enjoying lately. The fruits are slightly candied & soured. Not quite watermelon Jolly Rancher but it's close. Black cherries, black raspberries, watermelon, cherries, poached strawberries, cranberries, raspberries, tangelos & pomegranate reduction. The fruits leave a film on your palate as if you'd had a piece of hard candy. The bubbles aren't micro but they feel very delicate on the palate. The minerals are light, soft and beautiful as is the chalkiness. The finish is round, full, expressive and long. Outstanding value versus some of the more expensive roses we had lately...Krug, Billecart and Ruinart. It's not as good or as well made but it's certainly pleasurable. — 8 years ago
