The Wine Advocate: “The Tautavel cooperative's top cuvée, the 2018 Côtes du Roussillon Villages Tautavel Silex, is a blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 10% Carignan matured in a combination of tanks and barrels. Ripe notes of black cherries and plums mark the nose, with hints of caramel and dark chocolate. And is it just the power of suggestion, or is there a whiff of struck flint as well? In the mouth, the wine is medium to full-bodied, silky and concentrated, with ample length on the mouthwatering finish. Drink now-2030.” 92 points
