My second-ever Corsican in as many days. Just about the same flavor profile as last night’s bottle; in-your-face peach and melon with a strong vein of acidity running through it. However, the color could not be more different. This wine is a very deep, dark Rose color. Maybe a bit more blood-orange in this one, too. 5-11-17-8: 91/00.

Really quite nice. Strong ruby, fine balance and structure, and pure, piquant cherry. Wish I had bought more, as I paid $25 for this years ago. 5-11-17-8: 91/100.

For such a lightly-colored Rosé—if you can call it that, it’s actually golden yellow—this packs quite a fruit punch. Citrus, peach and melon linger a long time on the palate, and the nose is quite fresh, too. Good acid backbone keeps the fruit reigned in. My first Corsican I believe and, I hope, not my last. 5-11-16-8: 90/100.

Looks like you're up in Sac Town now. I was there a couple of summers ago - hot AF! Always good to meet like-minded peeps. Cheers!
