very nice wine already showing its age. bricking in the glass, lovely older bordeaux profile, very well integrated tannins and oak for a smooth palate — 2 days ago
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of three days. Best on Day 3. The 2021 pours, a deep ruby color with medium+ viscosity and moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with gorgeous notes of black and red bramble fruit, red and purple flowers, black pepper, garrigue, dried herbs, rocky earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose where the pepper plays an even greater role. The finishes long and the texture is silky smooth. The high alcohol is almost imperceptible. On Day 1, this was good but not particularly interesting (though the quality was clearly there). After significant air, this blossomed into a really compelling Gigondas; full of character! Best after 2026 and through 2036+. — 21 days ago

Stunning juice that is far more open over 2 years. Baked plums and dark, dark berry. I understand the Robert Parker and Dunnick 100 now! — 7 days ago
