PnP. On the nose raspberry with a hint of fresh herbs, on the palate fresh and creamy, medium+ bodied and length, to be consumed within the next 2 to 3 years.

Mine. A few months ago I thought this was showing drier but this bottle, maybe because of the company, was sweeter. Copper colored with blood orange, tomato, fino sherry, tarragon and a hint of smoke I've never noticed in this before. 14.5% abv. Hmmm.

Has really come into balance over 8 months since we last opened one. It's back to the blood orange and red rose petal range with acidity and savory qualities more apparent. Great finish--at cellar temp, a perfect pairing for chicken paprikash.

Plain and boring, so many Rosés worth trying before this one. Might be the worst QPR in the Rosé segment I have tasted. The only thing that might save this one is cellar time, I will let my last bottle rest for a couple of years more.

Drank with cheese and appetizers. Strawberry cool-aid colored with strawberry aromas. Cherry, raspberry and good minerality makes this stand out from the typical Rosé.

A fan of this wine, I didn't hesitate to buy a case last year when an offer came up. Been awhile since our last bottle and I was surprised by how cloyingly sweet this is on the finish, which is tipped even more in that direction by marginally lower acidity than usual, too.

Notes of blood orange and pomegranate. Slightly sherried finish. Not as herbal as the '17 but that could come with time. Not planning to open any more until summer 2020.

An assertive wine . Big andbold, with ripe fruits and a fresh acidity. This is little to aggressive now but has the potential to be great with some time .

Impressive rosé, built on intense pomme grenade, raspberry and melon. Well structured, with the right dose of freshness. Although a bit pricy, this bottle confirms the trend towards high quality rosés that can even mature for two or three years.

Tomato leaf overtone on the nose may be a turnoff to those sensitive. Love Tavel rose color and tannin but prefer Trinquevedel’s fruit and moreish watermelon rind bitterness on the finish.

Heavy and flabby fruit in the nose. No nerve or intensity, a real disappointment for me.

My last bottle of a case. Less herbaceous and sherried than five years ago with more rose petals and blood orange peel. Delightful.

Softened by time, very savory now, all rose petals and herbs. Drinking superbly.
