Community Tasting Note

• BVal wrote: 88 points

  December 10, 2021 - Color/App: light to medium-deep ruby core -> diffuse, light ruby rim with a hint of garnet creeping in. Savoury bouquet of redcurrants, plums, sage and green bell pepper. Palate brings in sour cherry, medicinal and herbal notes along with a bit of forest floor. Noticeably acidic, this medium-bodied red has a reasonably long finish but is not quite at the level I would expect given the price and pedigree. Maybe I'm just trying this at too young an age but I wouldn't bet on it. 66% Mourvedre, 25% Syrah & 9% Grenache.

It wasn’t particularly thrilling- not bad, but not impressive like it was on release. I think we’re just catching it at the wrong time? Those Panoplies really do shine with some time. The 2006 is pretty breathtaking now if you really want to get a thrill!

  I've tried quite a few of the Tablas Panoplie's ('05, '07, '08, '10 noted on CT) between 7-12 years of age and except for one haven't been blown away. Guess I'm not convinced that these will improve over time (hence wanting to try this at 5 years old).
  I think given the price I'll be sticking with old world Beaucastel since I see more significant potential.
