Poised and compelling from the outset, the nose seamlessly melds red and black fruits, fresh herbs and purple flower aromas with an underlying earth-tinged, petrichor quality. The palate is similarly multidimensional, dynamically delivering a suave yet snappy profile with juicy, mouthwatering acidity and palpable minerality that carries through the savory, refined finish. This is a reference point for the region and should enjoy a solid 15 years in the cellar. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.robertparker.com\/author\/AjnG4knxiNteN2aMz\"\u003eMatthew Luczy\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vinous.com\/wines\/tablas-creek-vineyard-esprit-de-tablas\/2023\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 points Vinous \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 Esprit de Tablas, tasted from barrel, is a deep magenta color with a spicy array of black raspberry, cedar chips and dusty rose. This is soothingly round and pliant with fresh acidity and a cascade of ripe black fruits. Edgy tannins amass through the finish as the 2023 tapers off long and staining. A blackberry concentration and a web of fine tannins frame the experience beautifully. - By\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eEric Guido\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eon\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eJuly 2025\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elite Wines Imports, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":47466567631011,"sku":"TablasEspritRed23","price":75.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/4104\/0803\/files\/2023-Esprit-de-Tablas-Bottleshot_c985be6309a55644bf86d853e12eb830.jpg?v=1773700789","url":"https:\/\/cellar.com\/products\/tablas-creek-vineyard-esprit-rouge-somlyay-2023-750ml","provider":"Cellar.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
