Medium Ruby with aromas of red fruits, floral and new leather notes, fruit sources from several vineyard sites. On the palate flavors of cherry and plum fruits with tobacco and pepper spice. Firm chewy tannins, savory on a medium+ finish ending with notes of oak, mineral and earthy character. Drinking well now, good value. — 2 months ago

Dark purple with near black core. Violets and leather on the abundant nose. Confirmed on the full palate with black pepper, blackberries,and black earth. Dusty medium plus tannins assert fro entry. Juicy medium acidity cuts through despite all of that big stuff going on around it. Black fruit is there but something seems to pull back on its presence. Finish is lengthy and continues the palate adding a hint of menthol (probably the French oak). This "Big G" can give a lot of CdP a significant run for the money. The body and dark fruit (and price) call out for a hearty meal, but don't pass it by with a heady cheese and charcuterie plate. Drink now through 2037. — a month ago

Roasted bell pepper, chunky, meaty grenache. Inky and chalky at the same time. Heavy flowers. Hot dusty tiles in summer time. There’s a lot to write home about, but not everything is in its right place. Good right now and maybe great in the near future. Time will tell. — 3 months ago

We explored nine Grand Montmirail wines from Gigondas spanning 2009-2019, all GSM blends as typical. This 2009 was the winner. — 9 months ago
