Concentrated aromas and flavors of dried citrus, peaches and passion fruit give this ros a powerful nose. A bright acidity with glazed pear and pineapple filling the mid palate. Garrus toasty notes are reminiscent of a vintage Champagne without the bubbles. A long, vertical texture with a creamy finish that features rich, spicy notes. Powerful and elegant.- Winemaker Notes
Made from a single vineyard of very old vines, some almost centenarians, Garrus is the pinnacle of the Esclan estate wines and, although its very early days, I have a feeling that, like Les Clans, it has reached new heights in the 2023 vintage. It’s liltingly fragrant and floral on the nose a little prettier, more elegant and precise than Les Clans 2023 while the palate has riveting purity and tension. It has succulent, scented white peach fruit and a mouthwateringly saline, mineral drive. The oak is controlled and the wine is still tightly wound, but theres no mistaking the density or the energy, length and refinement. If you drink it this year (2025), allow it time to open up in the glass or consider decanting it.-97 points, Decanter
A splendid ros, driven and tense. It shows notes of lemon tea, melon, fresh apricots, wild herbs and some rocks. Medium- to full-bodied with bright acidity. Seductive and succulent, with a stream of acidulated fruit on the palate framed harmoniously and funneling into the long finish. Drink or hold. 95 Points, James Suckling
