With alluring notes of dusty, dried red florals, deep savoury tones of rosehip oil and a touch of spicy red fruits, the 2023 Côtes de Tablas leans heavily into Grenache at 66%. The complementary palate flashes bright red and black berries that are enveloped by a spicy, savoury freshness of white peppercorn, dried anise and salty, piquant blood orange glints alongside the spiced, fleshy wild strawberries.

Dusty and floral, the 2023 Cotes de Tablas wafts up with a delicate blend of violet pastille, incense and woodland berries. Playful and energetic, it splashes across the palate with a core of tart wild berry fruit and a hint of citrus enlivened by zesty acidity. The 2023 leaves the palate completely refreshed, with an air of lavender and tart blackberry concentration that curls the tongue. Mineral tension speaks through this beautiful blend of 66% Grenache, 18% Syrah, 8% Counoise and 8% Mourvèdre. -- Eric Guido

A blend of 66% Grenache, 18% Syrah, 8% Counoise and 8% Mourvedre, the 2023 Côtes de Tablas features the highest proportion of Grenache in two decades, reflecting the fortunate combination of the varieties' yields and quality in this vintage. It leads with a strikingly fresh and pure bouquet of vibrant red fruits, orange rinds and candied licorice, introducing a lively palate with a touch of sweetly fruited padding that carries through the succulent, grippy finish. - Matthew Luczy
