RKS 2024 Wine: Famille Perrin 2023 Tavel: Bardot or Twiggy?

Posted byRobert K Stephen (CSW)Posted inWineTags:, , , , , , ,

As far a rosé goes the darker the pink the happier I am. Those wimpy pale rosés strike me with their acidity and thinness. By way of a bad analogy would you prefer to date Brigitte Bardot or Twiggy?

Aroma: Loads of raspberry with strawberry, red cherry, wet stone and a tiny bit of cotton candy.

Palate: What you get in the nose you receive in spades on the palate plus some watermelon. Firm with a long finish. Minimal acidity.

Personality: Yes I am primo rosé with impressive Tavel credentials. I may have fruity characteristics yet on the palate I am very serious.

Food Match: Smoked salmon pasta in a cream, vodka, basil, garlic, onion and tomato sauce over Tagliatelle egg noodles.

Price: $24 CDN (Ontario).

Cellarbility: Drink by Easter 2025 and what a match with an Easter ham!

RKS 2024 Wine Rating: 93/100 (the 2022 I rated 92): Natalie MacLean 90.

(Famille Perrin 2023 Tavel, AC Tavel, La Famille Perrin, Orange, France, 750 mL, 14%).
