Community Tasting Notes 4

  March 26, 2024 - I had higher hopes for this. I'll admit, I was swooned into buying one to try because of the cool old-style label but also because of Envoyer's tasting note for it. 100yr old vines was intriguing! As someone else noted it lacked some expected intensity and complexity. A very solid $10-$15 rose' I paid $26 for. If I had loved the wine, the btl might have made it on cool wine btl shelf:).

  March 4, 2024 - Organic & biodynamic blend of grenache, clairette & cinsault. I am admittedly not a huge rosé fan but I do LOVE an excellent Tavel. This particular one is well-made and balanced but lacks a bit of the intensity and complexity that I was hoping/looking for. That being said, it is enjoyable enough but not really something that I will seek out to purchase again anytime soon.

  September 23, 2023 - Dried cherries, orange peel, apples, airy herbs, a little meaty and spicy... savory and fresh at once, this is for food, i would say liberally herbed roast chicken.

  June 20, 2023 - Tasted blind. Electric red color and hard to guess, having little markers for Tavel as know it: no tannins, no tarragon, no sherried notes but with a bit of red vine licorice. Pleasant, but for Tavel it misses.
