Robert Parker

"Reliable producers of Tavel and Lirac (and Châteauneuf-du-Pape), the Lafonds have crafted a spice-led 2017 Tavel bottled with a screw cap. Hints of allspice and clove accent watermelon and red berry flavors, while the palate is medium-bodied and richly textured, leading to a long, silky finish. Bravo!" (Wine Advocate 2018 - Robert Parker) Supplied in screw cap .
