Remarkably consistent over the last quarter century ... strawberry-cherry yoghurt flavours in the powerful and dense style of Tavel ... the flavour depth and density far exceed expectations in the price category. So much pleasure on o£er here; chill well and go – call it deep rosé or light red or whatever, doesn’t matter. Tasted May 2026.
