A well-built rose that's holding up nicely.
Light, bright pink color. Lively, yet subdued nose of strawberries, flowers, and tomato skins. Fairly rich and minerally in the mouth, with deep flavors, and bass notes of strawberry and watermelon. Long, pure finish. 87. Was $13 and change at Spec's on Smith.
In the summer, I usually like roses from the previous year's vintage, but this one is still drinking very well despite its additional year of age.
