The 2000 Panoplie, a new offering, is a limited cuvee of Tablas Creek’s version of Beaucastel’s Hommage a Jacques Perrin. It will only be made in the greatest vintages. The full-throttle, blockbuster 2000 (a 75-case blend of 55% Mourvedre, 30% Syrah, and 15% Grenache) exhibits notes of new saddle leather, blackberries, licorice, earth, pepper, and spice. Intense, full-bodied, and moderately tannic, it needs another 1-3 years of cellaring, and should last for 12-15.Tel. 805-237-1231; Fax 805-237-1314
