Tasting notes
A highlight in the Tablas Creek roster is the 2023 En Gobelet, a blend of 49% Grenache, 31% Mourvèdre, 14% Syrah, 3% Counoise and 3% Tannat that showcases the estate's head-trained blocks. It is beautifully wide open on the nose, bursting from the glass with an effortless bouquet dominated by spice and anise aromas, along with crushed stone and vibrant red and black fruits. The palate exudes a tensile buoyancy and contained depth that carries through the focused, long and ethereal finish, managing to remain structured, grounded and lifted simultaneously.

The 2023 En Gobelet entices with a burst of crushed raspberries and cedary spice, complicated by rosy florals and nuances of underbrush. Wonderfully fresh and crisp in style, it offers pretty red berry fruit underscored by crunchy mineral tones, while a wave of fresh acidity maintains fantastic balance. Edgy tannins resonate as the 2023 tapers off with tart cranberry concentration and a hint of spice.
