Esprit de Tablas Red Tablas Creek

A deep nose, marked equally by Mourvedre and Syrah: mocha and currant reduction, chalky minerality and spicy eucalyptus. The mouth is dense yet not heavy, with flavours of sugarplum and rare steak, a reverberating red/black licorice note, and tremendous texture. The long finish, with lingering flavours of wood smoke, roasted meat, plum skin and crushed rock, hints at more rewards to come with cellar aging.
