Bravium Rosé 2018 Review

This is a wacky wine, with notes of anise and bubblegum on the nose. There’s a bit of honey and some jasmine, but layered over all of this is a sherry-like oxidative note that somehow creates a calm, smooth palate. It’s a bit pricey, but if you dig funky wines, here's a funky rosé.
