[EY Han]

Hi Daniel,

'just a reminder that a few of us have wanted to know your tasting notes for this (and also previous tasting notes for the 2005 vintage, which in my opinion has been well past its peak for a good half year).
Thanks much in advance!!

Best wishes,
E.Y.

Eugene, Hi....

Following are my most recent tasting notes for the two vintage years in question.

Best
Rogov

Chateau de Gairoird, Rose, Cotes de Provence, 2006 (Kosher Edition): A pleasant enough little rose, rose-petal pink towards orange in color, light on the palate with generous strawberry and raspberry fruits on a lightly spicy background and a light note of sweetness backed up by good acidity. Drink now-2008. Score 85. K (Tasted 6 May 2007)

Chateau de Gairoird, Rose, Cotes de Provence, 2005 (Kosher Edition): Almost strawberry colored in its youth, now turning a bit watery to the eye. Light, with a few berry, cherry fruits. Drink up. Score 82. K (Re-tasted 6 May 2007)
