The 2013 Esprit de Tablas Blanc has A deep-toned nose of lacquered wood, peach pit, and butterscotch: absolutely Roussanne, richly layered, with an intriguing tarragon-like high note that emerged with air. The mouth is more tightly wound than the nose initially suggests, with a rich texture, flavors of grilled peach, clove and allspice. The finish opens back up, with nectarine, citrus blossom and a little sweet oak. Impressive now, it should also go out 15 years or more and gain additional nuttiness and complexity with time. pairing: Cooked shellfish (lobster, softshell crab, shrimp), Roasted or grilled vegetables (eggplant, asparagus, peppers), Foods cooked with garlic and olive oil, Rich fish dishes (i.e., salmon, swordfish), Asian stir fry
