Pale colour resembling rose petals and Argyle pink diamonds. Alluring and expressive, the nose is redolent of fresh strawberries and rose petals, overlaid with complex notes of rose water, truffles and pepper berries. Elegant and refined, the palate displays a pure expression of Pinot Noir with luscious Turkish delight and red fruits, complexed by savoury notes of white truffles and marzipan. Fine tannins derived from fermentation and maturation in aged oak barrels complement the fine creamy texture on the mid palate and linear acid drive which extends the palate to a refreshing mouth-watering finish.
"...round, detailed, rich feeling and utterly delicious."
A superior wine to the non-rose of the same vintage, the red wine addition evincing generosity and sass, while evocative of strawberry, cream, brioche and a whiff of orange zest. This is round, detailed, rich feeling and utterly delicious. The dosage sits well. Difficult for me not to drink.
