2017 AIX Rose Review
It's hard for me to give any sort of street cred to a rosé that challenges my boo, Whispering Angel. This is close.
With any rosé you run the chance of it trying to capitalize on the recent surge of TRENDY ROSÉ GARBAGE WINE but this one is quite good. While it does sport the modern bottle design I have to say it is growing on me (AND IT COMES IN LIKE 5 LITER BOTTLES).
The nose is PULSING with citrusey fruit notes and fills the olfactory system with flowery nonsense. The first sip was a bit weird because it comes off as a fruity, sweet wine but immediately dissipates into a biteless, crisp wine. The more I drink the more I like.
I was meh on the $17 but I think it's a heck of a buy after destroying it. Get you a couple bottles and pour one on your lover for Valentine's Day. Mrow.
