Almost half Grenache, with the rest mostly Cinsault, Clairette, Mourvèdre and Syrah, the 2022 Tavel even includes small proportions of Bourboulenc and Picpoul. If you can hold off opening a bottle until this summer, or even into the fall, that would be a good idea, or else decant in advance of serving. Right now, there's a touch of austerity to the wine, with scents of wet stone reducing the impact of red berries and citrus on the nose, and the full-bodied palate seems just a bit pinched and tight but with the potential to blossom in a few months.

Beautiful, with ripe framboise, crushed flowers, underbrush and strawberries, the 2013 Tavel Chateau D'Aqueria Rose is medium-bodied, seamless and elegant, with solid freshness, good richness and a clean finish. It's a rock solid Tavel to drink over the coming year or two. www.aqueria.com Importer: Kobrand Corporation, Purchase, NY; tel. (914) 253-7795
