  Kleur: Licht fluwelig oranjeroze, voor rosé opvallend donker, voor een rode wijn opvallend licht. Aroma / bouquet: Zacht, verleidelijk en aangenaam bouquet. Atypisch voor rosé, zeer typisch voor een SQN rosé op basis van 85% Grenache, 10% Mourvedre en 5% Syrah. Een bouquet van bosaardbeitjes, zoete gemberkoek en zelfs iets van kaneel. Smaak / Afdronk: Ook in de mond is dit in vrijwel niets een rosé en in alles een SQN-rosé. Zachte zuurgraad, dik-sappig, geconcentreerd en mondvullend. Retronasale indrukken van aardbeiencompote, zoethout en kruidkoek. Serieus alcoholisch (15,4%), maar gezien de power van deze wijn voor mij niet storend. Algemeen / potentieel: Volgens velen vèr over de houdbaarheidsdatum, volgens mij nog enkele jaren UITSTEKEND drinkbaar en vooral 'genietbaar'. 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 12 + Smaak / Afdronk: 16 + Algemeen / potentieel: 9 = 92/100
  
  Colour: Light velvety orange-pink, strikingly dark for rosé, strikingly light for red wine. Aroma / bouquet: Soft, seductive and pleasant bouquet. Atypical for rosé, very typical for an SQN rosé based on 85% Grenache, 10% Mourvedre and 5% Syrah. A bouquet of wild strawberries, sweet gingerbread and even some cinnamon. Taste / Aftertaste: Also in the mouth this is hardly a rosé in almost anything and an SQN rosé in everything. Soft acidity, thick-juicy, concentrated and mouth-filling. Retronasal impressions of strawberry compote, licorice and gingerbread. Seriously alcoholic (15.4%), but given the power of this wine not disturbing for me. General / potential: According to many, well past its expiration date, I think it will still be EXCELLENTLY drinkable for a few years and above all 'enjoyable' '. 50 + Colour: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 12 + Taste / Aftertaste: 16 + General / potential: 9 = 92/100

  Much better than the average Rose due to the Grenache component. At peak but can drink well for another 2-3 years.

  Found this in my cellar; better than expected for an aging rosé. Drink now. Or yesterday.

  My kinda rose. Dark, thicker, fuller, complex taste. Delish.

  Deep red fruit, rust, and smoke on the nose where the alcohol level is evident. (15.4% alcohol).More muscular than other rosés with a tad of sweetness and is full bodied.
