Robert Parker
"The 2016 Côtes du Roussillon Villages Tautavel is a blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 20% Carignan, with 10% of the blend aged in new French oak barrels. There's a hint of powdery cedar on the nose, but it's not overpowering, allowing the black cherries and blackberries to express themselves. Medium-bodied, excellent value, this is supple and ripe, ready to drink now and over the next 5-6 years." (Wine Advocate 2019 - Joe Czerwinski) An ode to pleasure and indulgence!
