Mas Jullien Coteaux du Languedoc Rosé

See previous notes but this wine is finally coming into focus on the palate. It is still fresh and the red fruit vibrant. I think it will be better next summer.

Lovely strawberries and cream with a bit of herb action too. Decent structure and a nice finish. Drinking well now.

This is a big rose true to its place. Strawberry fruit, round, and a hint of heat on the finish. However, I think this pairs great with roast duck and lamb dishes with loads of herbs.

Voilà un rosé assez extraordinaire par sa structure qui ne laissera personne indifférent. La couleur est soutenue, le nez herbacé avec des fruits rouges et la bouche est très vineuse. C'en est même un peu lourd (l'alcool ressort), donc autant l'associer avec un bon plat car ce ne sera pas un rosé d'apéritif.

Deep pink. Rich, lively strawberry fruit. A touch of residual sugar and petillance. Tasty!

Impressive rose as it drinks closer, or just like a red wine I should say. Started a little heavy but this is a wine that really needs time and air. Lovely floral notes (like fruit leaves) on the nose. So, very vinous, a lot of fresh red fruits like ripe grenadine, strawberry and raspberry. Full body, this is meant to be consumed with food and actually improved over 4 days. This should be even better in 3-4 years.

2011 French Rose (San Francisco Wine Trading Company) : Deep pink. Dark fruit. Heavy and one dimensional.

This wine's deep, dark pink appearance was a seductive start which was continued into a pleasant strawberry aroma with well balanced acidity and some slightly herbal notes. Very enjoyable.
