Wow wow wow. This was simply tremendous. Goldilocks. Not too dry. Not too sweet. Lovely complexity. Bravo Mr @Mike Smith! — 4 years ago

Busting into our reserve Rosé Champagnes during lockdown. I’m a bottle away from Soda Streaming a Rosé wine.

Nose of ripe; black cherries, black raspberries, strawberries, leaner watermelon, tangerines, yellow peaches & white citrus blend. Grey minerals/volcanics, sea fossils, sea spray, just a whiff of white spice, baguette crust, bread dough, fruit chewing gum, warm toast, cashew w/o salt with pink florals & pink rose pedals.

The palate is, lively, rich, nicely knitted & juicy. Ripe; black cherries, black raspberries, strawberries, leaner watermelon, tangerines, yellow peaches & white citrus blend. Grey minerals/volcanics that are quite piercing, sea fossils, sea spray, white spice with medium heat, baguette crust, bread dough, light caramel, fruit chewing gum, warm toast, cashew w/o salt with pink florals & pink rose pedals. Nice fresh, lively acidity. The finish is lush, elegant, well balanced and persists minutes with gripping mineral & spice driven finish.

Bonkers good. Beaujolais meets Grenache! Raspberries, earth, bubble gum, good tannin, cherries. Just lovely. So crushable but also complex. Will definitely look for more of this in the future. — 2 months ago

Somehow whenever I know that I am drinking a wine to young I see @David T scolding me! I do highly respect his insights and the plan was to wait three more years!
But the realization that I was going to need to sacrifice a bottle; that I can Hopefully replace came late this afternoon.
Most likely we are going to be saying goodbye to our hyperthyroidism kitty " Patience" tomorrow. It has been a long battle and she would have turned 15 July 31st. So some self medicating is warranted! 😓.
Although this wine is delicious even young! Ripe Bing Cherries...licorice...bubble gum..tea leaves and moist forest floor! Delicious wine! I will try to obtain another bottle and let it age longer! — 4 years ago

Bright, some wafting black pepper spice, purple fruit, bubble gum, smoke. Some granite. Very gentle and pleasing on the palate. Good juiciness and acidity. — 2 years ago

Blind Date wine! Blind tasting notes: "Bright ruby red, candied red fruits, jolly rancher and bubble gum. Low acid, low tannin, slightly effervescent. The food pairing suggestion makes us think Italy, but the fruitiness and low acid and tannin makes us think Not Italy." Soooo tasty with a BLT and pasta salad with tomato and basil. — 3 years ago
