Montesquieu Likes this wine: 96 points
November 26, 2022 - This particular bottle was the best aged (i.e., 10+ years old) Gigondas I've ever enjoyed. Mrs. Montesquieu's favorite wine is Gigondas, and we drink dozens of bottles per year, including aged. Most are tiring by age 10 and clearly declined by age 15. This Santa Duc, at 21, was vibrant, fresh, and perfectly enhanced by its cellar time. Bramble, garrigue, modest forest floor and mushroom, and a bit of smoke all complement fruit that was still energetic. Based on a single data point, I'd say drink now if you have this and want to experience it at peak. Magnificent!
