Domaine Gros-Nore, Rose, Bandol

dusky copper w/pink gold highlights; melon & fruit cocktail (Del Monte, but in a good nostalgic way) on nose; med/full bodied; quite ripe strawberry confiture, watermelon & pear skin profile, luscious but tempered by an earthy & herbal quality, still reasonably fresh & lively, although on the riper, more dense side. absolutely succulent w/food. broiled nc bluefish in horseradish crust w/caper & radish gremolata; butter bean ragout w/corn, radicchio & mint 8/16/14 tasty, satisfying last bottle; seamless w/supper (89) brown …

Chatham. Pretty color. Dry wine of substance that matched well with grilled fresh haddock and cod.

fruit backward and hard to deifne the fruit - not very aromatic, vague cold peach flesh?, a slight floral-fruti lift, and a slight muskiness (agree with Robin Garr), musky strawberry?; palate is quite fat and round but has good acidity, finish is quite nice and has good length. Not worth $55 IMO though. Front label says 13.5% abv, importers label says 14.5%!

My second favorite summer rose from the south of France, with altogether enough stuff going on to make it a nice wine to go with lightly grilled chicken, grilled veggies and certain cheeses from the region. Lacked a certain sophistication but well made and still delightful.

Light fruit, dry with some acidity. Balanced. Would go well with fish

Nice wine. but not as good as the Tempier.

Good rose, but prefer Domaine Tempier by far for the same price range.

Pretty strawberry nose. Light to medium body, medium acidity, light tannins. Tart strawberry. Tasty.
