There is a slight bronze tinge to the wine, with a subtle nose of tangerine and red berries and some oak creaminess too. The palate displays flavours of vanilla bean, mandarin and cranberry, and a really incisive finish. Well chiselled and complex, this is only in the first phase of a long life (February, 2017)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eView from the Cellar (John Gilman) 92\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2008 Ros offers up a fine and precise bouquet of cherries, a touch of blood orange, a fine base of soil, gentle spice tones, fresh-baked bread and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and focused, with a good core, bright acids, frothy mousse and very good length and grip on the complex finish.

Clear, elegant and fresh on the palate, this is a round and well-structured, yet still very young Ros with fine tannins and a nice grip in the finish. This is a refreshing palate cleanser that needs food or another 10-20 years to shine. Try it with pata negra or traditional Japanese dishes.

It feels grand at first, sweet in its crunchy cherry fruit, but the finish is savory, fresh and lasting, narrowing to a straight and elegant line.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWine Enthusiast (Roger Voss) 92\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith an attractive touch of toastiness on this ripe wine, this is balanced and very ready to drink. In the house style, it is rich with a soft character. Plenty of acidity and hints of red fruits provide a vibrant contrast. It is ready to drink.
