  April 11, 2009 - I disagree with the other TNs. I thought this was a nice French rose for the price. Dry, balanced/focused, strawberry & mineral elements. My only advise is to drink on day 1--it was not enjoyable on day 2 since it had become flabby.
  
  Note: as a rule French roses are one of my favorite wines.

  September 12, 2008 - Pale pink in color with notes of rose petals and dried flowers with subtle strawberry aromas. Decent acidity on the palate with strawberry flavors. Turns tinny/metallic through the midpalate and finish. My wife liked this a little bit more than I. $14.39.

  August 24, 2008 - Dark for a rose, this wine had a nose of dirt, funk, hints of yeast, wood/nuts (like the Chitry, bourgogne). There were some light strawberry and red cherry notes, but the alcohol was more prominent than the fruit. Nose was hot. In the mouth: bone dry, almost salty. Some low bitterness. Med acid - could have used more. Hot in the mouth (13.5%). Low but noticeably tannins. Med body not very fruity. AL thought it smelled bad. I think that it didn't smell fruity but rather earthy/woody/musty, so it wasn't what she was expecting in a rose. JR noticed the tannins as well.

  June 27, 2008 - Bright red in color - moreso than many roses. On the palate it's extremely dry and crisp. Fresh tasting. Fair value.
