Compelling Grenache-dominated Rhône blend. Compact and powerful but layered with blue and bright red fruit, smoke and peppery spice. Will benefit from aging but wow so nice. — 16 days ago

Reddish tawny and translucent. Thinner and brighter than the older Barolo next to it. Great C-R nose. Notes of granite stone, earth, black cherry, cranberry, a little bacon, blueberries and some old wood. Vibrant in the mouth. Still has young fruit impression, tannins are soft and acidity still gives some pucker. Great future ahead for bottles like this. — 2 days ago

Wanted to open up something to thank Pierre and Clare. Herbaceous, dark red fruit, lightly smoked meat and floral notes on the nose. Black licorice and peppery spice on the palate. This guy is still going strong. 100% Syrah 100% whole cluster. — 9 days ago

Deep purple hue. Medium-plus tearing. Smoked meat, black cassis, ripe plum, candied blackberries, molasses, bay leaf, wet stone, potting soil, and baking spices on the nose. On the palate, strong acidity, spice, and tannins open up to juicy black fruit, dark chocolate, and espresso notes. Lovely southern Rhône, Grenache-based blend with strong complexity. Long finish. 15% ABV. Vintage 2016. #chateaudesaintcosme #gigondas #southernrhonewines #encoresilvousplaît — an hour ago

This is beautiful from the very first pour. Medium acidity, beautiful color. A lot going on here. Hint of pepper with soft fruit with a firm texture. This has many years left in the tank — 7 days ago
