Magnificent quality / price / pleasure ratio for this modern interpretation of Tannat in a "natural" style, on the fruit. Lively, with volume, accessible and crunchy. Open as an aperitif, it will be drunk throughout the meal with meats as well as pizzas.
Magnifique rapport qualité/prix/plaisir pour cette interprétation moderne du Tannat dans un style « nature», sur le fruit. Vif, avec du volume, accessible et croquant. À ouvrir dès l’apéro, il se boira tout le long du repas sur des viandes autant que des pizzas. — 6 years ago
I've always been "in like" with Gordon Estate, but never truly fell for their wines...until tonight.
The bouquet alone is worth the price of admission! Okay so here we go: Blackberries, red currants, cinnamon, roasted red peppers, kalamata olives, dark chocolate, blueberries, anise, and hints of clove and vanilla. (Breathe.)
The flavors are full of ripe, fleshy red and blue fruits with hints of skin tang to keep it focused.
I'm picking nits when I critique a finish that I believe should be longer, but if Jeff Gordon told me to, "Shut up, and enjoy the show" I would.
I will remember the night I enjoyed this wine, and if you have the opportunity to try some by all means do it!!! — 9 years ago

Really quite a fantastic Brunello from an obviously great producer. In a great place at ~9 years but no rush. Lots of refined red fruit on the nose. Manages to get the balance and tension between fruit, earth, and acid nearly perfect. Finish is slightly less expansive and long than I was hoping, and the tannins are a bit unintegrated. But those are nits - delicious and thoroughly enjoyable. Also appreciate the 13.5%. — 4 years ago

Light, grape skin flavor. Light tannins. Pleasant with heavy Indian curry and naan. — 9 years ago

Delicious spicy and peppery nits from the Mourvèdre with length from the 20% Cabernet. Excellent with juicy steak because of the modest mouthwatering acidity. Drank the 2010 on Sept 18, 2015 — 11 years ago
Nose reminiscent of BDX with a couple of years on it, though a bit brighter. Lightness and acidity with firm tannin on the palate. One might complain of a slight lack of concentration, but I ain't picking nits. It's just the thing with a bowl of pasta. — 12 years ago
Almost neutral taste. Very good when cold. Suits for the most of the dishes. — 5 years ago

Simple and I like it. Perfect for the price, I’d say. Aniseed is the most compelling tasting note. Okay truth? I’m a NUT for anything absinthe-y. Which is to say I like black jellybeans, caraway, in theory licorice (yet somehow I don’t like black twizzlers—texture?), chervil and tarragon and...Garnacha that is anise-y. As this is so it has my heart. It has a smidge of cocoa and tobacco on the end. I dunno I dig. — 8 years ago
Reading the label, I expected it to be really hot at 16.1% ABV. After a 30 minute rest, the hotness of the alcohol was present, but not in a distracting way. Instead, it was big and powerful, but still smooth with great berry/jam aromas and long legs. If I had to offer a criticism, I'd say it's not super complex in flavor, but that's picking nits. This is a really nice Rhone style Paso GSM that truly complemented and helped cut the richness of a dry aged prime ribeye. — 11 years ago
Beautiful nose. Intense lime drizzled with Tupelo honey. Very broad on the mid palate. Lacks some zing on the finish if I had to pick nits — 11 years ago
