Gigondas, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Still a bit young and could use a few years in the bottle. A lovely balance with strong tannic finish. Almost chose for our wedding red. Nice medium fruit.

Predominantly Grenache (50-60 years old) supported by Syrah, Mourvedre, and Cinsault. Elegant and floral aromas meet with scents of blackberry, dark cherry, framed by just enough oak spice (apparently this didn't see any new oak at all). The palate is round, and smooth. Tannin is substantial but not chewy in any way. Strawberry, raspberry, violet, blueberry. Long finish. Good wine to drink now or cellar another 7-10 years for its secondary characters. 90+

May 15th, 2017(16/20) Красивый, насыщенный аромат сухих красных ягод с нотами кедра и шоколада. Свежая кислотность и мягкие, гладкие танины. Насыщенно ягодное во вкусе. #DVR2017
