  Still one of the best "young" red Esprit because its already ripe, open, complex, balanced and its doing it while still being full bodied though not dense.
  It surely will age nicely to due to the balance and fine flavors.

  Typical Tablas - good fruit (cherries noticeable) well balanced.

  This is very good, even on pop and pour. I cannot think of another Esprit this appealing and so fully expressive this young. Some raised eyebrows have referred to the lighter color of the vintage, and it is true -- but in itself not a cause for concern. The flavors and aromatics are terrific, with plenty of healthy dark fruit flavor (blackcurrants, dark cherry), followed by leather, spice and the dark chocolate -- all characteristics of Esprit. The tannins emerge with air and are firm but elegant. I was not expecting such a beauty from the difficult 2020 vintage. 90-94
