The Vintage Cellar's notes: Bright salmon pink; typical of the fresh but warm Provence style. Refined and complex on the nose, with summer fruit and floral notes. Dry and crisp, with a delicate flavor and full texture.
This rosé was different from ones I have had before. It had somewhat of a pungent smell, almost like smelly feet (not overwhelmingly so, just notes of feet). It tasted not terribly pleasant to me, very dry and acidic, maybe a little buttery but still acidic which was an interesting experience. Overall not my favorite wine of the bunch.
