Les Racines Gigondas Red Rhone Blend

Excellent GSM from the Southern Rhone - CDP’s little brother. At 4 years still really young, bright and crisp acidity. Mellow tannins. Really enjoying this, and getting hungry. There better be some beef on the grill. 😅

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

Jan 18th, 2024So fresh and deeply fruity; smooth tannin. Very delicious at 12 years. Has a lot more life left in it.

Always a big fan of Brunier. This bottle wasn’t as amazing as I was expecting.

Delish in the future seen in this wine. It has beautiful balance char depth and herbs. Love the black olive, Forrest floor and oaky soft notes

Golly this is good. It appeals to my tastebuds tho for this region I might expect riper fruit? This wine was dang tart but maybe that is just the bracing minerality speaking up. Bracing. That is this. All is fruity and good and then it is just a good hit of licking a slate rock and peppercorn. We are so all licking rocks no?

Just a bit of a sharp note on the finish mars the impact. Don’t usually fall for these wines anymore but this is ready for red meat dining
