This is a rosé that truly improves with a short decant and once it warms up slightly.  Once giving it a chance to open up the nose is quite complex with watermelon, crushed slate & hint of a forthcoming salinity. Med-full bodied palate in true Tavel fashion with tart cherry & raspberry upfront with a lively acidity and saline & chalky minerality in the finish. An unorthodox but excellent pairing with homemade chili!  [8/24/21]
