    Bastide de Fave Réserve du Prieuré (Rosé) 2023 - RecommendedTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim

    Light copper-pink. Ripe weight, salted peaches, raw nuts, remarkably concentrated but still fresh and elegant. The palate shows powerful coconutty oak, a hint of tropical spice, and walnuts. Balanced acidity and dry, elegant phenolics on the finish. It is more of a white wine, and a slightly entry-level crisp-and-oaky at that. No red fruit, which raises the question of whether that is an essential for a rosé, but this could be a white wine.
