La Bastide Blanche
Bandol Mourvèdre Blend Rosé
Bandol, Provence, France
Forgot about this one but still very fresh. Don’t let anybody tell you rose doesn’t improve in the bottle. Red berries, pit fruit, mandarin orange, fleshy with vibrant acidity

Rich, savory, and full without being mouth coating. Starts crisp and broadens out. Blood orange, passion fruit, and tea. Almost creamy. Medium acidity. These rosés provide an important contrast to the culturally preferred rosés of Cotes de Provence.

Round rich red fruit. A big and generous rose to pass the time away. 🌹🧀

Fat on the palate with blood orange, passion fruit and an almost sake-esque creaminess. Broad and delicious. Alcohol stands out, but fun and complex to drink.

Too sharp for me- medium body but not nearly as good as many other roses I've had

Nice nose and flavors. Floral, slightly creamy, and a great mouthfeel. Lacks acidity - would be a knockout otherwise.

Jul 28th, 2017Still young aromas of red-currant, peach, blood orange, rose and spice. The palate is dense with creamy berry fruit, citrus and stone flavors, ripe and full with bright balancing acidity with terrific density and length
