Gigondas Red Rhone Blend

Big red fruit...dried/baked but with a sweet finish..appears to be some oak with baking spices and sweet vanilla finish and black pepper...

Blend of Grenache (50%), Syrah (30%) and Mourvèdre (20%). Bright ruby color with purple highlights. Aromas of ripe black berry/currant with hints of vanilla, asphalt and lavender. Ripe blackberry, black currant and blueberry lead the palate with notes of toasted spices, black licorice and roasted herbs. Long and fruit forward finish. Plump and well structured.

We have been to this area many times over the past 10 years. This 2015 is one to buy if you see it! Rich, full flavor, loved by many. First drank in the village of Gigondas with a special meal with friends.

Earthy Autumn potpourri Floral

This is the best red I have ever had.

Great smooth wine!

Still needs 3 to 5 yrs. Dense dark fruits, nutmeg, oak, and subtle vanilla. It's good now but will improve over the next several years...

Color of dark ruby, with a bit brown and purple note. Nose of dark fruit like cherry, dried raisin, interesting honey note, and indeed a bit ice wine nose touch. Taste of good oak, spice, dried strawberries, good tannins, medicinal note, spice, zest, crayon, and ripe aldehyde. Aftertaste of zest, spice, and simply tasty. She can be enjoyed now or later after 2020 I believe.

bu en apéro, pas mauvais mais Un intrus parmi tous ces bourgognes...

2013!
