Community Tasting Note

  • wjochim Likes this wine: 93 points

    February 6, 2024 - I rarely write tasting notes anymore, but felt I needed to with this bottle of Tablas Creek. I've had good, bad and in-between experiences with this blend from TC over the years, and to their credit if you have a bad bottle they will send you a new one. So, when I opened this bottle (one of 2 '09s left) I was hopeful but prepared for a wine on the decline. What a pleasant surprise to pour a glass and find the color still bright red and the nose still bright with red and dark fruit! If it wasn't for the tannins being mellowed out I would have guessed this to be no more than 5-7 years old. It's absolutely beautiful. Fingers crossed that my last bottle will be just as good when I open it...sooner than later!
