Tasting - Chateau Suau Bordeaux Rose

Name: Chateau Suau Bordeaux Rose
Variety: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Bordeaux
Country: France
Year: 2013
Price: $7.95
Shop Review: "88 points - Stephen Tanzer. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Light, lurid pink. Tangerine, raspberry and white pepper on the fragrant nose. Juicy and focused in the mouth, offering zesty red berry flavors with a refreshingly bitter edge. Closes clean and tight, with lingering spiciness and a touch of orange zest."
My Review: It smelled like a blueberry pie, or some kind of berry compote that tagged along with the smell of a puff pastry crust. It had a pale salmon color, not very pink. Smelled like potpourri and tasted like it too. The taste was stinky, overly floral, and had an acidic aftertaste. It was like an old lady's perfume that she drenched herself in because she could barely smell it. Not my favorite. Was not paired with any food.
