Fra Guerau Rosado, Montsant, Spain

點擊次數(shù)：2846

Harsh and burnt-smelling, with beet-like flavors and too much body weight. One could argue that it gets better as it airs out, but nobody should have to wrestle with a rose just to get something likable from it. Past its prime with nowhere to go.——M.S.(6/1/2009)—— 81

Spicy strawberries on the nose lead straight to a full-bodied, totally balanced and healthy palate that is eager to deliver zesty raspberry and tea-like flavors. Not hard to enjoy, with peppery rose tannins and good length. Freshness is key to this wine, and as of June 2007 it was drinking perfectly. Imported by Freixenet USA.——M.S.(12/15/2007)—— 88

This Freixenet-owned label from Montsant opts to use Syrah, Tempranillo and Merlot in the blend, and hence the wine is very red in color and rather weighty. The nose has some green character and earthiness, while the palate deals stewed plum and apple skin. Putting it nicely: It's not the freshest piece of fruit in the bowl.——M.S.(7/1/2007)—— 83
