Les Halos de Jupiter
Gigondas Red Rhone Blend
Gigondas, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Clay, olive, tar on the nose, most interesting.
Oil cured olives, fresh Thai basil, heavy bodied, more earth tones showing as the wine airs.
Woody twang tannins has a grip on the back end, or overly powerful, yet enough to age for quite a few years. Digging it.

A magazine I used to love, one of the early editions I owned from September 2014 pictured above. Found it on an old bookshelf from when I shipped boxes and boxes of books to my parents home. Not sure how Monocle’s doing these days. I do wish I was 23 again, though.
Very pleasant aroma, similar to Vacqueyras appellation reds, but less peppery, more nuanced and smooth fragrances of peaches and rose petals.
Bouquet matches the flavor profile. Absolutely beautiful mouthfeel, silken and luxurious. Berry medley compote, slight black currant spice kick but not too much, vanilla, and essence of mint.
Lovely. Might as well be at a French monastery enjoying a Spring breeze. This would be great with lamb or ripe, creamy cheeses.
