The wine comes in a clear bottle, the better to show off its deep, rich color. The wine pours up much darker than a rosé from, say, Provence. Additional skin contact for the grapes gives the wine a beautiful color which ranges from an almost magenta shade to hints of tomato red and salmon. Rolled into one descriptor, we can call it copper colored. The nose gives up some luscious strawberry and cherry aromas with traces of citrus, minerals and spice also present. There is a lot of flavor to be had on the palate - red fruit, a touch of tobacco, some melon, allspice, and even ginger. This is a very complex wine, and it has a nice tannic grip, too. You can use this Tavel in place of a red, while other rosés can only stand in for a white wine. — 4 months ago
This wine is all over it—in terms of acid/alcohol/body balance yessss. I have my tasting notes: hardcore slate mineralogy and sweet red fruit and bits and bobs of white pepper…interestingly other reviewers had other exact nose/palate notes but overall we like the wine so it’s like that person you adore then meet someone else who loves them for another reason. And so on. All over this is a new favorite. — 3 months ago
