  Surprisingly intact a mature (but not more) Tavel.

  This rose obviously just needed some time to come together. This is my first bottle since last fall and is a significant improvement. The bitterness that was holding this back is gone and has been replaced with a well balanced and nicely structured rose.

  If you like your rosés big and bold then you might be on board with this one, but I am not. Bright translucent deep pink/light red in color with a blast of ripe red fruit. Comes across as heavy and hot and even cloying. Not elegant or subtle at all. Especially disappointing since this is probably the first Kermit Lynch selection that I haven't liked.

  Bright ruby in the glass with light red berry fruit nose. Notes of tart strawberries and raspberries, wet rock and sweet clover. Finish inititally quite sweet, but then integrated nicely. Good.

  My first rosé of spring, and this provides a pitch-perfect transition from the reds of winter. Darker and heftier than your usual rosé, this doesn't present a whole lot on the nose - maybe a bit of strawberry and nettles. On the palate, it's got a mouth-coating heaviness to it, but retains a lightness of flavor and hint of sweetness typical of good rosés. Some cherry, melon, orange zest, a bit of distinctly grenache-derived pepper. There's a hint of minerality, though not in the amount others apparently found, and the finish just sort of...dies. The thickness makes it a little tough to quaff in quantity, too, unless it's kept ice-cold throughout. Overall, though, a solid effort, and I think Tanzer just about hit it on the nose.
