Fully resolved and delicate. Very little tannic grip left here, but what’s left is effortless to drink. Pure cherry liqueur, cedar, burnt orange.

If there is a better value French red than Gigondas, I don’t know what it is.

Color is deep red. Nose is vanilla and pepper. Palate is short and sharp but dense with earth and pepper. There's complexity here.

Nose: red fruits. very pleasant earthy smells.

Very juicy. Raspberry is strong. Medium body. Medium to light tannin. A little dry, with a chalky finish that is delicious.

A wonderfully balanced wine. Love it!
