  At the PEF dinner at our house. Drank next to an Arnot Roberts Rose to compare styles - fun experiment to do, especially with non_rose drinkers.
  
  Very different, this one split the crowd. Would say the Margui is the more elegant of the two wines, AR more fruit forward.
  
  My prior notes hold: "nose of white flowers, citrus, ocean. Palate is elegant and fruity - light strawberry, peaches and grapefruit. Bright red fruits, nice acidity, lingering finish."
  
  Crowd showed a preference for this over the AR

  A light, pleasant rose for a hot summer day. Notes consistent with my prior experience in Spring of 2013 and similar to the notes if others. Although thus was the best of the three bottle I've had, there is a slight bitter tinge that is very unappealing. Except for this, the wine was pretty good.

  Frosty pale salmon. Sea air and roses on the nose. Clean fresh berry citrus tones on the palate with a crisp acidic finish. Very nice cool summer wine. 55+12+16+7. [I know, this rating is so much higher than my previous ones. Interesting that the rating has changed but the description is almost identical. I didn't look at or remember the previous ones before writing this.]

  Dinner in the Provinces - Act 2 (Chez Walker - Princeton, NJ): Drank next to an Arnot Roberts Rose to compare styles. Very different, this one split the crowd. Would say the Margui is the more elegant of the two wines, AR more fruit forward.
  
  My prior notes hold: nose of white flowers, citrus, ocean. Palate is elegant and fruity - light strawberry, peaches and grapefruit. Bright red fruits, nice acidity, lingering finish.
  
  Very Provencal in style...the color sets this apart, a translucent light peach/salmon. I thought this was slightly better than the Arnot Roberts on this night
