May 11th, 2022Certainly gaining some more flesh with its fruit, the last year has been generous. There’s still great energy and vivacious texture here, fresh and full of Gigondas minerality. Ripe black berry and cherry fruit, blood orange, baked rocks, garrigue, loads of lavender, a nice reduction bringing about undertones of iron and meat.
