Tablas Creek Esprit de Tablas Rouge 2017
The Esprit de Tablas is the flagship red wine from Tablas Creek, selected from the most compelling lots of their cellar. It combines the richness, meatiness and ageability of Mourvèdre with the mineral and dark fruit of Syrah, the approachable fruit of Grenache and the fresh spiciness of Counoise. Intense aromas of wood smoke, black cherry and violet entice on the nose. The palate displays Grenache's juicy red fruit profile, then deepens into notes of cassis, chocolate and liquorice. The finish is concentrated and structured with mouth-coating tannins and a meaty complexity.
