Marlborough 2011 Black Cottage Rose
What a delicious and refreshing rose!I normally avoid roses because I find they remind me of pot pourri. I tend to look for much drier roses to avoid that sticky sickly taste. This one, however, is dry, but everso fruity so you could mistakenly think it was off-dry.
Strawberry, vanilla, cherry and almond flavours. Almost like a bakewell tart, but lighter. visions of candy stripes and old-fashioned sweet stalls.Fresh, vibrant, tasty.
I think that by being made in New Zealand this rose has managed to shed the frumpy moth-ball coat.
We jointly scored it a 3 for quality and 3 for likeability (I gave it a 4 really). In terms of quality, its very hard to find a very good quality rose, especially at the £10 price point. = 6/10
