2021 Chateau d'Esclans Garrus Rose

95 Points - James Suckling, jamessuckling.com

“A complex and intense rosé with notes of oak spices to the elegant red berries and strawberries, together with hints of orange and grapefruit. Impressive purity and tension on the full-bodied palate, with an ethereal feel and a long, subtle and refreshing finish. Tactile, flavorful and elegantly structured. Very serious. Drink or hold.”

“This super-rich rosé has great balance, fruit and intensity. Its spice and wood aging support the fine fruit, richness and balanced acidity. This famous rosé remains a pioneering wine while showing the potential of Provence rosé Robert Parker's Wine advocate Château d’Esclans’s premium cuvée, the 2021 Cotes de Provence Rose Garrus, which was matured in French new oak, bursts from the glass with aromas of pear, grapefruit, vanilla, spices, lime, red berries and thyme flowers. Medium to full-bodied, layered and textured, ripe and round, it’s built around racy acids and a seamless palate. This vintage can be approached with pleasure even if it has 3-5 years of evolution ahead of it.”
