The Eye:
Light Salmon in Colour
The Nose:
Touch of Tart, Fruit other then that very unexciting
The Mouth:
Now this is kinda of shocking to me, a wine from Provence being this Tart, I mean imagine this made into a Sparkling it would be awesome but its to tart for a rose I think. Its ok but very Tart good amount of green appleness but not that malic acid I get from some wines I explain as tart also
Overall/Reflection:
An Interesting Wine, for the Fact its Tart from Provence, but other then one dimensional kidna of boring might be to tart for some people
Score: 83
