The 2023 Patelin de Tablas is incredibly fresh. From the glass, the 2023 cascades with a zesty blend of savory herbs, olives, earth tones and crushed stones. This is silky smooth with a burst of brisk acidity complementing sour cherry-berry fruits and hints of tart citrus. The finish is long-lasting, with gentle tannins that gradually fade, leaving behind lingering hints of violet pastilles and lavender. This balances ripe fruit with structure and an energetic persona to give a truly spellbinding impression.

Tasted before bottling, the 2023 Patelin de Tablas is a blend of 45% Syrah, 30% Grenache, 23% Mourvèdre and 2% Counoise. The nose is driven by mixed dark fruit aromas supported by tobacco, black tea and fresh herbs. The palate is beautifully textured, juicy and straightforward, with subtle tannins and lifted acidity. It's a charming introduction to Tablas Creek.
