Stack a case away and revisit early to mid-'20s. Even as a youthful brat this is terrific Gigondas. 80% Grenache; 10% Syrah; 10% Mourvèdre. At a shattering 14.5% ALC there's not a note of heat. It's an awkward swallow on the backend--tannins a tad aggressive--but time will ameliorate that current drinking minor flaw. No patience for cellaring? No problem. A blackened T-Bone or blackened fish...YES! To hell with $90 CdP. Shell out $25 and walk away a winner.
