I like Tavel. I really do. And I like the fact that, to my palate anyway, it is best enjoyed with food, particularly from the grill. Having enjoyed numerous bottles of Mordoree's La Dame Rousse over four or five vintages, I was looking forward to finally trying the Reine des Bois. Unfortunately, I found this to be over the top and unbalanced. The alcohol simply dominated this wine. Maybe it needs some time to settle down? I haven't yet tried La Dame Rousse from 2016, but I will do so.

Mörk rosé, jordgubb, röda vinbär, örtig/ kryddig smak, hög syra, nästan som ett rödvin, lite rödvinskänsla. God till avokadosallad
