Tasting - J.P. Chenet Dry Rose Sparkling


Name:  J.P. Chenet Dry Rose Sparkling 
Variety: Bobal 
Region: Roussillon 
Country: France 
Year: 2011
Price: $18 --> $6.95 (closeout) 
Shop review: Intense and fine, dominated by notes of red berries  The combination of fine bubbles and delicate aromos makes this a delightfully light and silky rose.  Aromas in the mouth evoke red berries, cherries, strawberries: mellow and well-balanced.  
My review: It absolutely smelled like berries.  Sweetness was the dominate factor for me when I tasted it.  I just haven't found a really sweet wine that I have liked yet, because it just stands out so much to me.  The aftertaste really stuck with me for this one and it wasn't exactly pleasant.  It was very light and smooth and the bubbles are always fun, but this just wasn't for me.  
Food: no food
