White wine has more volatile chemicals which would smell overpowering at room temperature. The colder the temperature the more subdued the smell will be. This is true not only wth wines, but also with food. Ever wonder why sushi or sashimi is served cold? Because the warmer it is the greater chance the fishy smell would turn up.
Red wine, on the other hand, contains tannins, which will taste more prominent at cold temperature. This is because alcohol (a volatile chemical), which act as a balance to the tannins, is dumbed down at colder temperature.
