Smells of strawberry honey, toffee, and some metallic influence: what does bronze smell like but in a subtle, non-overpowering way? A beautiful pink/gold-new bronze colour. The palate is extraordinary because this Rose is a field blend: '67% Shiraz; 14% Semillon; 9% Cabernet Sauvignon; 6% Chardonnay; 4% Pinot Noir.' It's like nothing I have tasted before in a Rosé. Refreshing. Fruit residual. Intriguing. Very dry overall. Very, very interesting. Good food wine because of its dryness.

Ribolla Gialla Russolo
Another big wine. golden. Nuts and apricot in perfume. Big palate which if difficult to know what to do with. On line it at least says pizza: which means tomato, yes?
Primeur Bangaran Rose
Now on to a 'natural' wine that if I fully realised that it was natural I would never have bought it. Dear goddesses, save me from natural wine. 2021 Primeur Bangarang which appears to be a Domaine Mosse, expensive and highly praised on website, but for me THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES. Goddess, it it's like drinking flavoured water. But ... I am Moira Rose, "This wine is aw-ful. Give me another glass." https://www.tiktok.com/@twoguys.../video/7195608822118059310)
Picollo Ernesto 2017 Gavi.
Gavi + a new grape to me that I don't understand. Smells of nuts and suppressed apricot. Very golden in colour. Very strong palate: don't know what food it would suit. Some strong fish: but what? I get that it might be described as elegant. But much more difficult to understand than Semillon. I won't be chasing it. Picollo Ernesto 2017 Gavi.
