2016 rose in 2023—that’s a lot to ask. Can’t say it survived the journey, even though stored properly. Showing age in the nose and some bitterness on the finish.

Even though the label says "White" wine, it's the rose... Pretty badass fruit, cool nutty nose #keifeandco

Best rose. Aroma is stinky, meaty and dead flowers. Pallet is heavy with dried strawberries, earthy churned soil, finishes clean though. Everything everyone else lacks. Aged for 18 months!
