The quite deep ruby colour, roundness and rose scented fruit which I noted last year are still there but the acidity is less fresh making for a less appealing drink. Some experts claim that Tavel ages well. Maybe this one is in an out of balance phase on the way to more complexity, but I doubt it. Quite good.

Enjoyable Tavel with the usual quite deep ruby colour, roundness and rose scented fruit but with enough acidity for freshness and a welcome but less usual moderation in alcohol (13.5%). Good.
