Again a bottle to my liking. So guess that previous one was off. High in acids, tangerine fruits, classic bitters — 2 months ago

Incredible glass of rose. Roses, almond paste, tart, some dried figs. In the mouth sweet, acidity and bitters so well balanced. — 3 years ago

If you like a well made rose that can easily be forgotten in your cellar a few years this is a good pick. Remains fresh to drink and some bitters from orangepeel make it even good with food.

9.2

N: Roses…big and candied. Red/Pink Grapefruit. Like marmalade, all the bitters too.
P: At first, big tannins that smooth out w protein. Cherries, but yellow/brown.
Delicious wine.
If this is Cogno’s basic, watch out. — 2 years ago

9.1

On the fruitier side of LdH (darker in colour, too), with some dried cherry, dried cranberries, a touch of orange peel & orange bitters with the typical leather, wood polish, cigar box next. Some decent dark earthy notes, too. Needs a bit of time to open up.
On the palate this is poised, elegantly balanced, in a perfect spot. Medium body, vibrant acidity, the tannins finely grained & mellowing. Savoury fruit + a touch of spice & a hint of orange peel towards the finish.
A lovely wine! — 3 years ago

Vintage 2021 | Early drinking, fine luncheon wine, paired with beetrootsalade, goatcheese and lemon/oliveoil. High bitters, so better with food or give this bottle one or a few years cellar. — 2 years ago

9.3

Solid core, somewhat muted scent and typical cab flavors giving damp earth, cassis and nutmeg like bitters. I don't see the 96RP rating here but nevertheless a well made wine. — 3 years ago

9.1

Vintage 2019 | hint of orange, stinking smell (positive), high acidity. This needs something to eat because of high bitters, lots of character. Swallow reflex. — 3 years ago

Jammy at the start. Then more complex with dark berries, orange, followed by bitters, pepper. — 4 years ago
