Note di degustazione
Opaque ruby. A complex, deeply perfumed bouquet evokes ripe red and blue fruits, baking spices, vanilla, toffee and candied flowers, and a smoky mineral quality gains power as the wine opens up. Very sweet, seamless and broad on the palate, offering deeply concentrated raspberry and blueberry liqueur, cherry pie and fruitcake flavors that show emphatic, spicy back-end lift. The spice and floral components drive an extremely long, sappy, emphatically sweet finish that shows no obvious tannins.

Made all from dried Mourvèdre grapes (a true Vin de Paille from red grapes), the 2017 Vin De Paille Sacrerouge has a pretty, spice-filled bouquet that offers loads of ripe cherries, garrigue, chocolate, and earthy notes. Medium-bodied, it has nicely balanced sweetness and acidity and a great finish. While there’s plenty to like in the lineup, I was unquestionably disappointed in the 2017s from Tablas Creek. This was the poorest showing I’ve seen from this estate to date and compared to past vintages, the wines are simple and lack concentration. It gives me no pleasure to say it as it’s a great team and great people, but the wines should be better.
