This wine was very different to me. It's pink, so I expect it to taste like a White Zinfandel wine, but it really doesn't. This 2011 rose wine from Cotes de Gascogne, France sold for $5.95, and I even bought it (keep this in mind for later.) The tasting notes provided offered that it was a crisp wine, smoothing out the edges with a touch of caramel, and a balancing acidity. When I went in, I felt the wine didn't really have a smell. Not like other wines, where all I could get was the grapes, but really couldn't pick a distinct smell for this wine. After trying again, I might have picked up a floral scent, but nothing really popped out. The wine was a little bit sweet, but also fairly dry. Now, I bought the bottle to have with dinner the next day. The first time I tried this wine in The Vintage Cellar, I really liked it, how it seemed to balance the sweet and dry components. The next day, when i had the wine with dinner, I didn't like it as much. I felt that the wine was too acidic, and all sense of sweetness was gone.
