Rich aromas of flint, honeysuckle, gooseberries, and wet straw. Mouthfeel is acidic and slightly bitter. Feels like some skin contact rendering great texture and weight, but bitterness is a little off putting. — 10 years ago

8.4

This Rose is an enigma, definitely well made with aromas of raspberry, cherry blossoms, and rhubarb. Nice granitic acidity. However there is a jolly rancher character that is somewhat displeasing. — 10 years ago
