  Recommended to me by a wine guy at Mt. Washington Wine & Spirits in Baltimore. Usually I go by the mantra that the best time to drink rosé is within the year following its vintage. I told him this, but he was persuasive that I should try it due to its pedigree. Yes, it was quite flavorful with obvious Grenache orange character, finishing soft with a touch of sweetness, but its nose and flavors remained a touch on the stale side. I disagree with him: The wine would have been better last year or the year before.

  Customary dark rose color of Tavel. Nose is very aromatic with red fruits - strawberry and watermelon - with an added depth of herbs and a diffuse floral note. Palate feature juicy and sweet red fruits followed by white pepper and herbs. Medium body, though much fuller than most rose. Low acidity, medium finish. Delicious.

  Optischer Eindruck: Klares, mittleres lachsrosa
  
  Geruch: Sauber. Mittlere Aromen von Zitrone, Apfel, würzige Noten wie Pfeffer. Jugendlich.
  
  Geschmack: Trocken, mittel (-) Säure, die wenig präsent ist, Alkohol 13.5%, tiefes Tannin, mittlerer Körper mit verhaltenen Aromen wie in der Nase, mittlerer Abgang.
  
  Schlussfolgerung: Durchschnittliche Qualität. Jetzt trinken, kein Reifepotential. Gerbstoff wurde bei der Vinifizierung belassen ohne ihn mit Restsüsse «abzutöten.»

  The deep salmon color sets the tone - quite a bit darker than a Provence Rose sitting besides it in the wine cooler. Had it chilled, and hit by notes of cherries, watermelon, and grapefruit, a hint of chocolate. The nose and first sip reminded me immediately of Nyetimber Rose, minus the bubbles. A slightly bitter taste mid palette with a quick finish.
