Gigondas

Needed lot of time very cacao like, complex wine, need to work on to understand it

Still an interesting wine, showing notes of damp earth, tiny black currants, cocoapowder, brown spices and gingerbread. Of course, this wine is getting leaner, but there still is good balance and freshness and I think it's surprisingly vivid and charmingly elegant for its age, possibly due to a good splash of refreshing acidity. A nice surprise.

Nose is true to its age. Front of the front palate still kicking (surprisingly). Not too bad for a old ass wine!
