Rimauresq Rose 2007 "nice but forgettable"

Much of the pleasure we derive from wine is influenced by the surroundings, foods, and people we enjoy it with. Last night, two of those three were great, but the dinner (my fault) was abysmal.
Rimaureseq Rose is a Provencal rose made from Tibouren and Cinsault grapes. At £14, it was much more approachable than the Domaines Ott at £28.
I found the whole experience with this wine to be lacking. It was like being introduced to someone at a cocktail party and immediately forgetting their name. You have a nice but forgettable conversation and you part with vague promises of getting together sometime.
I must give this wine another chance, "let's do lunch" I suggest.
