Vibrant salmon pink. Abundant nose of ripe peach and tangerine. Toasted brioche added to these in the lush, medium palate. Lingering red fruit finish. Fruity without being "fruity" is a great description of this. The rosé from Franck Bonville's second label is a great starter and an excellent accompaniment to a wide range of cuisines. Drink it when you buy it, of course. — 2 years ago

Sha-bang! This was very impressive. Perfect wine for our light and cheese pasta dishes and fish. Lots of mouthfeel and zesty fruit. Rolled in slowly but fully. I thought this had the heft of a grand cru. Top notch. — 5 months ago

Bdb classic - floral, citrus, tart apple and pear with a fair amount of depth, minerality, and creaminess to accompany the pleasant acidity. Balanced and more pleasing with a little air and time. — a year ago

Reduced, sulphur on the nose and palate. Air helped. Needs 5-10 years. — a year ago

This was served blind to eliminate the negative bias that several in our group have towards Olivier Bernstein wines. This actually showed very well tonight. — 5 months ago

Cabernet dominant Bordeaux blend. Deep ruby color. Aromas of dried black cherries and currants along with notes of black licorice and wet asphalt. Blackberry, black currant and plum lead the palate with hints of tobacco, mushroom and black licorice. Long and smokey finish. Bone dry, full bodied and beautifully balanced. Ripe and concentrated. Thanks for providing this stunner, Kase! — 7 months ago
