Underripe strawberry, puff of baby powder, stony coldness, alcohol hotness. Not bad, interesting enough -- perhaps I should not have lost track of this bottle and drank it earlier.

Still going strong with plenty of strawberryish fruit. Alcohol still does stand out a bit, though.

Another bottle down too quickly - this stuff is so delicious.

Medium salmon color. Juicy white peaches and white cherries on the nose, apricots, honey, along with these complex notes of sea spray, lemon pepper seasonings, yellow flowers. Such focus and precision on the palate on a ripe, juicy frame, lovely balance and freshness, ripe but focused. White peaches, apricot, topped in slate, minerals, tonic notes. Damn I love this rose.

Continues to drink well.

A touch more alcoholic than previous years' versions, but still the same dry, mineral-inflected basket of red fruits.

Dry with nice acidity but not as bracing as I was told. Notes of fleshy peach and red berries, Italian melon and pithy grapefruit at the finish. Light and fresh, easy to enjoy. Upgraded to an 89 on day 2.

Very attractive bouquet; refreshing palate quiet, shapely, . Will hold well.

Has a distracting sharp finish -- like bitter fruit. It rounds out a bit after a couple of hours. Not a sipping wine -- best with food or cheese

Pale pink. Watermelon and yellow peach fruit, a prominent herbal note (a bit cress like), and a mild stony background. Light texture with just a bit of oiliness. Great summer wine, though depending on the meal, I might lean towards the more assertive olga.

Pretty pale pink. Nose with peach, tree fruit, meon and similar on palate with mineral and good minerality. Clean and refreshing but with nice complexity including spice, orange rind. Very nice for this price point.

Solid, light rose. Fairly dry on the finish.

Beginning to hit its stride -though today’s heat may have aided appreciation.

Just a nice, pleasant, affordable rosé from a producer whose Chinons are generally among my favorites.

Popped and poured. Translucent pale pink color. The aroma is a subtle mix of cherry and spice. Bursting with a complex mix of fruit and mineral flavor, with melon predominating. Tangerine notes in the finish. Fresh, robust, lively, interesting, delightful. Plenty to geek out on, but should be a crowd pleaser as well.

Pronounced pink; low-key bouquet; tight, a spicy edge to the attractive fruit. Best left alone for a short while.
