Faustino I Blanco Gran Reserva 2019 — 14 days ago
Love this champagne. — a month ago
Light orange in color.
Light nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing raspberries, strawberries, currants, lemons, peaches, spices, sea salt and light earth.
Tangy finish with grapefruits and limes.
This is a young Rosé from Bandol. Spicy and fruit forward. Elegant with a soft mouthfeel.
Nicely balanced and already showing nice complexity.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.
Good right out of the bottle and good by itself as a sipping wine.
A blend of 70% Mourvedre and 30% Cinsault from 45 year old vines.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
90 points.

Dark copper in color with a golden hue.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing cherries, sweet strawberries, apples, currants, herbs, earth and light vegetables.
Nice finish with impressive length.
This is a delicious Rosé from Bandol. Fruit forward and nicely balanced. Complex, easy drinking and interesting.
A great sipping wine. Really fun to drink, and what a great color.
Very approachable right now and drinking much better than their 'Vespree' Rosé.
Wine Spectator 91 points.
Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 10 years.
Good by itself or with food.
A blend of 70% Mourvedre, 25% Cinsault and 5% Grenache.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.

Late disgorged 2/27/25. Deep rose color. Not sure I like the style. Have been drinking these wines for years this being the first LD — 18 days ago

NOSE: muted, red fruit, oaky vanilla, graphite
TASTE: super smooth, the fruit is candied and dried (cherry and maybe some fig?), mild spices and earth and fragrant wood — still enough acidity to keep it balanced. I like more fruit and oomph, but it is good. 92. — 8 days ago
