Bastide de Blacailloux AQUINO (Rosé) 2023 - RecommendedGolden white, effectively blanc de noir. Creamy white fruit, with a hint of Earl Grey tea, white peach and a taut dark blue minerality. Waxy, with oak quite evident, raw nuts and a hint of exotic fruit. Crisp, zesty and refined, with fresh acidity, though lacking fruit and concentration and a little insipid, without the confidence of previous vintages. Needs time and more fruit to open out and fill out, but the structure and balance are there.
