Sensational SQN at 16.9% alcohol was the sexiest “little chick” (Gallinita) at the party courtesy of @Eric LaMasters while you could feel the substance of this wine the high alcohol was not a factor at all....illustrating once again how Manfred is a magician at bringing the chained inhabitant of the barrel to the edge of the waterfall but never allowing it to go up and over the edge and crash and die on the rocks below. Massive (for a rose’) but an intricate and somehow delicate wine. Grenache dominates the blend with ample bright red fruit, herbs, stewed strawberry and a decided creamy texture. Unfurled and blossomed throughout the night. Best Glass was the last.

Best rosé I’ve tasted. Close your eyes and you could be drinking a full-on red - love it.
Thank you @Eric LaMasters for this gift.

What an insanely complex and enjoyable experience from what is supposed to be the simplest of wines. Rosé isn't supposed to make you stop and think like this one does. It goes without saying, but thanks to @Ralph Canada for another fantastic bottle.

2014 Vintage. 15.9% Alcohol. Compared to some other ‘14 Roses recently, this is still amazing. Enjoy if you still have them!

Fantastic. Not at the level of the 2012 Eastside Aubert that we just had, but still awesome. And an amazing complement to the smoked turkey we had for dinner.
