Critical Review

Decanter Magazine: 89Pts

” Intense nutty aromas the oak is a little too obvious and quite surprising, not what I would have expected from Chteau, which in previous vintages has seemed more harmoniously balanced. There’s sweet vanilla, hints of raspberries and some spice, along with white peaches and barely-ripe white fruit altogether decent Grenache typicity. It has a nutty structure and a lasting acidic, phenolic finish. the vintage. It is a somewhat stereotypical version of itself as an oaked ros, and lacks the concentration and ripeness to support the weight of the oak.
