  Shocked that I liked it . More like a beaucastel blanc. Pnp, tasted half its age.

  Yesterday I was treated to a wonderful vertical of older vintage Tablas Creek Vineyard Esprit de Tablas Blanc, the 2003 was holding up admirably. Indeed, they all were. A blend of 68% Roussanne, 27% Grenache blanc, and 5% Viognier—aged to a deep yellow, the color of daffodils, and bursting with aromas of bruised pear, golden delicious apple, cherimoya, forest honey and more evolved notes of Stargazer lily and walnut skins. Languid and silky on entry, with a core of dried apricot and a calcareous mineral spine.

  Tasted non blind.
  
  Yellow color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of sulfur, yellow pears and yellow apples. Flavors of yellow pears, yellow apples and minerals. Light to medium acidity, medium to full bodied. Drink now.

  Like drinking 12 karat gold. Slate, wet stone, lemon zest on the nose. Medium bodied with medium to high acidity. Ideal with sushi

  Burnished gold color. Full-bodied. A nice mature white.
