I’m between 91-92 here. I followed this over two days and it stayed consistent. Would probably see slight improvement maybe with another year?

Blush pink in the glass…not sure I’ve seen a rosé so pink before! Being Grenache, you definitely get some spiced red fruit aromatics and more of the same on the palate. Very floral. This has a steely vibe to it that makes it extra fresh. Tart tangerine, underripe white peach, melon and plenty of crushed rock/limestone type minerality on the finish. I found this best around cellar temp…too cold makes this too racy.
