2005 Domaine de la Mordorée Tavel Rosé La Dame Rousse (France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Tavel)
Darker rose color. Nose shows mostly crushed rock, dried lavender, and garrigue strawberry. Solid midpalate that is chock full of raspberry and minerality that leads into a good finish. Remarkably beefy rose that could go well with many foods. but it′ll probably do best with salads, saucisson, and simple vegetable spreads as well as grilled fish. To me, not quite as good as the Canto Perdrix, but a little better than the Chateau d’Aqueria. This is a little more fruit forward on the palate than either of the two I just mentioned, but by no means wold it be mistaken for a new world rose. Recommended.
