Tablas Creek Esprit de Beaucastel 2007 - Rhone red blend - $22 (half)



Deep garnet red in color, a hint of cloudiness due to not being filtered. A nose of dark fruit and herbs and soy (borrowed from Parker's description but noticed finally). Ripe fruit, blackberry, plum, blueberry hit the palate and then comes powerful mouth-drying tannins which combined well with the fruit. Then comes some more subtle peppery notes to finish. Long finish with tannins leaving the mouth tingling.
Score: 4.5

Jessica: This wine was slightly bitter and puckery. Complex and deep tones.
4.3/5
