Domaine Saint-Damien
Les Souteyrades Gigondas Red Rhone Blend
Gigondas, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Overripe and atypical (not in a good way). Nose has loads of sweet prunes and some spice. Fruity and full in the mouth. Still quite a bit of soft tannin. Not a hella concentration, complexity, or length.

Medium ruby red with garnet edges. Elegant and layered nose with lavender, olives, strawberries and graphite. Medium tannins (5.5/10) and medium bodied. Fresh acidity. Balanced palate with floral notes, white pepper, raspberries, strawberries, minerality and a touch of leather. Long and dry finish. Drink till 2022.
Amazing value for around $20.00. Believe this is 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvèdre.

This is interesting. Really enjoyed initially but then it seemed to age a lot. Some brick dust, bark, herbs, stewed fruits. Good but not faded fast.

At this point the 2014 is very soft, elegant, not much tannin. Love it.

Well balanced and delicious. An easy drinking wine with notes of plum, wet slate, licorice and light herbal / floral aromas.
