Cotes-du-Rhône Rouge “Taparas”

From FLâNEUR Intense aromas of fresh red pomegranate and raspberry complement earthy forest floor, leather, white pepper and savory meat. Flavors of macerated strawberries, pomegranate and raspberry are accompanied by a briny olive tapenade, black tea leaves, and cedar wood. Silky and soft, balanced with buoyancy and impressive length.

From FARELLA Aromas of citrus rind and dark fruits with spices such as clove and green peppercorns. Full-bodied, with lovely texture and density. Shows richness and poise. Energetic 98 pts. Wine Advocate

From MAURO VEGLIO Ruby red. Warm, balanced, long finish with round tannins and a vanilla aftertaste. Drinking well now, but with the potential for great longevity.

From ALESSANDRO BERSELLI Straw color. Aromas of green apple and acacia flowers, with citrus notes on the finish.

From FARELLA Ripe and sleek in feel, with açaí and blackberry notes, flecked with violet, sweet bay leaf and savory hints and supported by a cast iron note on the finish.     93 pts.  Wine Spectator

From DOMAINE TURENNE Pale pink/orange color with aromas of wild strawberry, rose , and citrus. The palate is light and elegant with subtle berry fruits, a hint of citrus and stone, and has a nice density and length.
