Cotes-du-Rhône Rouge “Taparas”

From PADRó & CO. Soft caramel in colour with shades of amber. Balsamic notes, aniseed and mountain herbs appear in the aromas. When shaken, aromas of spices emerge, such as vanilla and cloves, acquired during the resting period in wood. Caramel-like essence with candied fruits. In the mouth, initially warm and enveloping giving way to a blend of refreshing and elegant tanginess and a soft and velvety sweetness.   ABV 15%

From SIRO PACENTI Structured and elegant, with silky tannins and a long finish. This wine comes from two vineyards with vines over 35 years old; annual production is around 30,000 bottles. 99 pts. James Suckling

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.

From CANTINARTE An ultraripe expression of peach, citrus cream and butterscotch carries to the richly layered palate. A lush orchard fruit flavor melds with tangy cream and salt, bolstered by zesty acidity and a lingering blossom note.

From CHO Lemon and saline aromas with a mineral note. Lemon, butter, and mint flavors with a touch of slate. Super energetic acidity with a juicy finish. (91 pts., Wine Enthusiast)

From STEFANO ACCORDINI It is known as a wine in the middle between Amarone and Recioto because the bitter taste is finely covered from sweetness, so the characteristic flavor of Cherry under spirit and bitter Almond are clearly perceived that convey cozy and velvety feelings.
