Cotes-du-Rhône Rouge “Taparas”

From STEFANO ACCORDINI Intense ruby red. The very broad bouquet presents a marriage of both fresh and refined notes of mature fruits, spices and tobacco. The taste is full, strong and is perfectly combined with soft tannins.

From KIVELSTADT CELLARS Bright cranberry and raspberry. This walks the line between rosé and red wine having the tannins and acidity of a rosé, but all the color of a red.

From GIANFRANCO ALESSANDRIA On the palate one finds blackberry, cherry, smoke, and earth. Soft tannins are provided by 12 months in neutral oak.

From CA' DEL BAIO The color is a deep garnet red with reflections of old pink. The nose is an intense, fruity aroma reminiscent of raspberries, jam, and violets that give an ethereal feeling accompanied by sweet spicy notes and hints of cocoa. In the mouth, Autinbej is warm, long, persistent and slightly tannic with an aftertaste of fruity notes.

From LANDRON-CHARTIER Fresh and zesty with hints of stone fruit, pear, apple, and honeydew melon flavors. Straight mineral wine with a gently round mouth. Pleasing saline conclusion.

From VINCENT COUCHE Light and refreshing.  The nose is a blend of melted butter and burnt caramel. On the palette there are notes of apple, lemon zest, almond, graham cracker, and coconut. Very long finish. Suitable for ageing.
