First bottle in consumed in 22 had strong note of honey in 24 still there on first sip with a bright finish. Excellent with fresh oysters. 1 bottle left. Yes expensive for a rose but damn good.

Drank this bottle a few weeks ago and forgot to note. My last bottle of 6 and it and it was time. Since my last bottle a few years ago the color has changed from a beautiful dark pink to a more amber. The flavors and aromas were more savory. But the ripe strawberry that made this delicious was still there too.
I opened this spontaneously for a French friend who said that all Rose is bad except southern France. I told him that is mostly true but there are some exceptions, and the few good ones in the USA are a totally different style so you can’t expect a Tavel or Bandol rose when you drink them. He genuinely LOVED this wine so points for Realm. I know lots of haters for their price point for this Rose, but we have enjoyed every bottle and I look forward to trying the new release.

Last bottle, last tasted 12ish mo ago. Spot on notes from others on this one. Cherry, red fruit, vegetal undertones, dry, and still drinking nicely!

Just love this stuff. Rich and full enough to stand on its own or with food. Not that light-weight "summer water" this is a wine-lover's rose.
