" The 2019 Tavel is a radiant medium rosé in the glass, easily dark enough to be instantly recognizable as Tavel. It's delicately herbal and stony on the nose, with hints of garrigue and warm galets accenting strawberry, peach and melon nuances. Medium to full-bodied, this shows real complexity, substance and length, making it stand out in the ever-proliferating world of rosés. It should drink well for at least a couple of years."
