Domaine Du Gros' Noré Rosé 2007

For Deborahs birthday we opened a bottle of this rose from Bandol, of which we had the 2005 some time ago. On the bouquet it was quite complex with aromas of red currant, strawberry, menthol, garrigue, stones, earth, musk, orange peel and rose petals. On the palate it was superbly balanced, with soft almost creamy juicy fruit, rich but light and wonderfully dry finish. A little less masculine than the 2005, this showed how great rose can be. Excellent.
