Lovely older Gigondas, this saw barrel which may have carried it further, redfruits are solid, but starting to show its age, close to mature. — 10 months ago

Paid only $26 in 2016 This wine is outstanding. “Flavors of cassis, cherry, raspberry, and bright pomegranate are intertwined with beautiful crushed rock mineralogy...” - SommSelect Their recommendation to wait to drink between 2019-2021 was spot on. — 3 years ago

Forest fruit, cacao and vanille. Of course very young but amazingly approachable, this is the famous fist in a velvet glove! — 2 years ago

9.1

Inky ruby. Assertive dark berry and cherry compote scents are complicated by suggestions of candied flowers, spicecake and licorice. Concentrated yet lively on the palate, offering sappy dark fruit and candied violet flavors that fan out slowly on the back half. Shows very good energy, increasing sweetness and steadily building, chewy tannins on the persistent finish. All concrete. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, February 2020)

Another one from a perfect cellar I just purchased. Cork in perfect shape. Wine is a beautiful example of aged gigondas. Almost Bordeaux like to start then some soil’y Loire quality and now it’s almost barolo like with deep ripe red fruits, iodine and smoked earth. Really lovely. Hit me up for a preview on this cellar. Prices are stupid good as the wines are premium examples of stuff you just can’t find — 2 years ago
