Tasting Notes - Bass Phillip Rose 2005 (Recommended)

Drunk over 2 nights, a rare event for rose and me, but the wine showed well on both occasions. Pale raspberry, looks almost dilutive. Nose was relatively tight on day 1 but showed enough of the 'house' style sour fruits and bitterness. Both characters much more pronouced 24hrs later.Firm palate early, undeniably pinot with sour cherry, stiff acid; quite powerful and very dry for the style. Palate weight faded a little near the end of the bottle but still impressive.
