2022 J.L.Quinson Côtes de Provence Rosé

 


I liked 2020 and 2021 better. This one is a decent Rosé de Provence, but the taste is a little bit harsh. Still has usual notes of honey, spice and citrus, but a bit off balance.

It's good with seafood, tried it with baked haddock.

2021 Rodney Strong Rosé of Pinot Noir


 I am not a big fan of California wines. There are a lot of producers of bad or mediocre wines there. But there are some good and exceptional producers as well.

This wine is really good. Tastes as if it was a good Rosé champagne, but without bubbles. Almost no sugar.

Was very good with baked haddock.

2023 George Duboeuf Beaujolais Nouveau Rosé


 Yet again we enjoy Beaujolais Nouveau Rosé, courtesy of Haskell's.

I like it more than red. Same notes of pear and caramel and hint of apple, but somehow more pronounced.

Enjoyed it with baked flounder.

2020 Châteaux Subilaux


 

Another bottle from Costco Christmas box. Classic Bordeaux. Black currant and sour cherry. A bit of sugar, but not much. Very well balanced.

Enjoyed it with sous vide tuna, finished on grill.

2019 Château du Luc


 Very good Bordeaux. A bit on a lighter side. Multiple berries and a bit of spice in the nose and taste. No sugar at all, great!

Enjoyed it with sous vide tuna finished on a grill.

2022 L'Auratæ Rosé


Wonderful Rosé from Sicily. If I tasted it on a blind tasting, I'd say "Provence". It has all the notes which make Rosé great: honey, summer meadow, spice, a bit of citrus. May be a little less subtle, than Provençal Rosés.
Enjoyed it with grilled fish (ono in miso marinade).
