Gigondas, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Incredibly youthful and full bodied, this is a dark, rich and sexy Gigondas that’s furious at being opened so soon.
Featuring a well of steeped plum, cassis, blueberry and chocolate with a distinct graphite edge, the wine positively bursts on the palate with intense generosity and a grippy finish. Slightly hot (14.5%, not unusual), but everything is kept in check by fresh acidity and supple tannins. Impressive, should age well.

Dark & surprisingly youthful
Creamy, ripe black fruit with a fresh herby bite - garrigue, mint - and a creamy backdrop. Fresh & enticing.
Nicely balanced on the palate with juicy fruit, a savoury tannic edge, fresh acidity. Plus a fresh, uplifting herby finish.
So nice with venison stew!
