Tasting- Dom Michel Thomas Sancerre Rose

Name: Dom Michel Thomas Sancerre Rose
Variety: Pinot Noir
Region: Loire
Country: France
Year: 2013
Price: $32 Sale: $8.95
Expert Review: Bright orange-pink. Lively, mineral-tinged aromas of fresh red berries, orange peel and honeysuckle, with a hint of anise building in the glass. Dry and nervy in the mouth, offering vibrant strawberry and orange pith flavors and a suggestion of rose pastille. The floral element comes back on the finish, which lingers with very good spicy persistence- 90- Stephen Tanzer

My Review: The wine was light rose in color. On the nose, it smelled sweaty and moldy with hints of lemon acidity. The prevalent flavor was the alcohol as it was quite hot. The spicy pepper came through in the after taste with hints of acidic lemon and grapefruit. Overall, this was not a pleasant wine.

Food: This wine was tasted with no food due to tasting it at the Vintage Cellar.
