Domaine Lafond Tavel Roc-Epine 2009
Tavel, Southern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceSimilar to last year this bigger style rosé from the Tavel appellation has a candied soft cherry berry nose with bits of tobacco and earth in the finish. The attack is soft and forward with plenty of earth, tobacco, pepper and candied cherry fruit with a coating of butter in the back end. More intense than most rosé which allows it to stand up to bigger richer summer fare.Tasted: 24 November 2010Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $23.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
