Vintage Cellar Tasting - Domaine De Mirail

  • Name: Domaine De Mirail
  • Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot
  • Region: Cotes De Gascogne
  • Country: France
  • Year: 2011
  • $5.95
  • Shop Review: There is a fresh, crisp character to this light rose.  It is eye-watering in its refreshing character, with balancing acidity, smoothing out the edges with a touch of caramel.
  • My Review: The aroma had my nose tingling a little after smelling it, I couldn't put too many good words towards the smell, the best I could come up with was rubbery or latex.  Just kind of a bland smell.  The taste was equally as boring.  It just tasted like a watered down white, ar a watered down nothing, I found nothing appealing about this wine.  Bland and maybe a little bitter.  As you can see this is a rose (add a tilde to the "e"), but it is the weakest, lightest rose I have ever seen and the flavors just didn't pop for me.
