Moulin-la-Viguerie 2019 Tavel "Falaises de Braise"

Gaël Petit makes beautiful Tavels of terroir at Moulin-la-Viguerie that age beautifully for over ten years, like the Manissy "Tete de Cuvée." Made with Grenache noir & blanc, Cinsault, Carignan, Syrah, Clairette blanche, Bourboulenc and Mourvèdre, average age 50 years+. "The 2019 shows a hearty, traditional Tavel robe with a gleaming red heart. The bouquet has inner sweetness, is under wraps, not yet out and about. There is a latent aroma of raspberry, a note of liqueur essence. It’s in no hurry. The palate sweeps along broadly, with textured, rolling richness, carries engaging plump, well filled content with a sure step into its extended, rounded close. It’s rather majestic Tavel which covers the ground well, and deserves well thought out Mediterranean, Middle Eastern dishes."
