Despite the mouthfilling texture, the wine retains remarkable focus and structure. "Distinctive, with mango and nectarine notes laced with a hint of orange zest. The lacy finish has a stony backdrop. Shows impressive length and precision. A gorgeous rose." - 91 points, Wine Spectator, June 2015 Grilled meats, fish, poultrwith heavy sauce, Pan Asian cuisiney cuisine. The top of the range among Sacha Lichine's roses, Garrus offers a uniquely vinous, savoury style. Toasty and floral aromas precede a powerful, though never heavy, palate. Despite the mouthfilling texture, the wine retains remarkable focus and structure. This deliciously elegant rose definitely requires a dish with some weight and complexity to it. Think succulent roasted pork, grilled lamb chops or even a savory mushroom dish.
