A very good Gigondas that probably requires another 2 years to hit it's stride, but it's potential is evident.
The nose has a bright refreshing clarity. Brambly fruits, mixed herbs and pepper get the party going. The party continues in the mouth with cut flowers - violets, perhaps. Black licorice and overripe blackberries dominate. The mouthfeel is taught and expansive. This should grow up to be a 92/93 pt specimen.
