Rose Season

If you have any 2010 Baudry rose left over it's drinking beautifully right now. I don't know that I would hold it too much longer but I think it's even better now then it was last Spring.

Amen to this. I drank my last two bottles of the 2010 during the recent heat waves and they were both fantastic. I had my last 2009 a few months ago--also very good.

Totally agree. Served it to a several handfulls of young colleagues from work this past Tuesday. It rocked (especially with a very mildly spiced pulled pork) and also changed the way they think about rose.
 
Does anyone expect these things *not* to improve after a year or two? Why the commotion?

Our heatwave will be here late August if we are lucky.

I just opened a bottle of the '10 tonight and I concur completely. Even better than it was last year, though I intend to finish my supply sooner rather than later.

Close to Baudry, both Amirault (to the west) and Cazin (to the east) have admirable 2009 roses as well.

'09's? the '11's are what's coming over the horizon.

(not that the '09's that you mention would not be lovely.)
 
Don't know if you have experience with other vintages and are just asking about the '11 in particular, but I find this the least inspiring wine of his lineup. I haven't had the '11 but neither the '09 nor '10 were all that interesting to my tastes. A negociant gig I believe.
