2010 drunk on early 2024. Still smooth and juicy with enough brightness for balance. Showing age, but still very drinkable.

So fresh and deeply fruity; smooth tannin. Very delicious at 12 years. Has a lot more life left in it.

Loads of black pepper and earth. Nice acid and length on finish.

Very nice but not the best example of Gigondas. Ordered it because it had some age.
