The 2018 Tavel here is one of the vintage's top successes, boasting expressive aromas of fresh strawberries, melons and lime juice. It's medium to full-bodied, silky on the palate and long and elegant on the finish, showing exemplary finesse.

The 2016 Tavel l'Esprit de Roc Epine is a completely different beast that spends three weeks in barrel during its élevage. Like the regular Tavel, it's full-bodied and silky in texture, but its bold aromas suggest berry pie and vanilla.

A fabulous effort that's made from 60% Grenache, 20% Cinsault and 20% Syrah, the 2015 Tavel Roc-Epine Rose is big, full-flavored effort that gives up tons of framboise and crushed flowers in its medium-bodied, seamless, layered and textured style. Despite the richness here, it's still lively and fresh. Drink this terrific Tavel over the coming year.

I loved the 2014 Tavel from Domaine Fafond Roc Epine, and this estate continues to release a bevy of beautiful wines. A blend of 60% Grenache, 25% Syrah and 15% Cinsault, this 2014 offers classic raspberry, watermelon and rose petal notes in its medium-bodied, supple, seamless and elegant style. It shows the fruity, rounded style of the vintage, has terrific purity and is hard to resist. Drink it over the coming year or two.
