Really looked forward to this one, but a little bit too rich to warrant higher score. Missing the acidity/tension a bit.
Edit: and it was served too warm.. — 13 days ago

What fun. This wine trounced a much more expensive Bordeaux this evening. Drinking perfectly and fully displayed its boysenberry, chocolate and Asian spice notes. Drink now or whenever it seems well in hand for another decade. — 21 days ago

The old Stelzner property which was always the leanest SLD cab property. In my experience, this endeavor stays with the lean and mean style but ramps up the power to 11.

They need 15-20 years depending on vintage. 13 maybe longer, but love this producer with that kind of age & beyond.

Tablas Creek Vineyard

Esprit de Tablas Adelaida District Mourvedre Blend 2022

Freddy R. Troya
9.4

The V.2022 Esprit de Tablas is the flagship red blend of 40% Mourvèdre, 28% Grenache, 22% Syrah, 4% Vaccarèse, 3% Cinsaut and 3% Counoise selected from the top 6-estate-grown varieties propagated from budwood cuttings from the Château de Beaucastel Estate in Rhône, France.

An absolute crowd-pleaser in all aspects; the nose welcomes aromatic dark red fruits, black forrest, earthy and spices. As for the palate, it is rich and bold, yet fruit-forward slightly juicy with a hint of licorice, minty and lushy. Great acidity and structure with progressive tannins towards the back-end. Loved the texture and some sweet spices by the very end. — 16 days ago

Vintage 2023 | very nice bouquet, that due to its smokiness made me think this was Chardonnay. Tasted blind. Tones of pear, peach and citrus. Rondeur. — 15 days ago

2022 vintage. Sampled via Coravin. A bit more fruit than the 2021 vintage sampled just prior. Still...über-pleasant and giving now. Cellar it. PNP it tonight. Somewhere in between...doesn't really matter as you'll be more than satisfied regardless of your decision. 03.19.25. — 2 months ago
