Very similar showing as before, open and ready, plenty of character and complexity, the most open and classic of the night, with extended airtime this developed some soy dried fruit and cedar notes.

Similar notes as before, the most compact of the night, fresh taut and tense while still displaying good drinkability; very nice.

Lots of chocolate on the nose with dark fruit yet lighter body and fresh acid along with very tart red and darker fruit; good over the next few years though not my favorite.

The beefiest Gigondas of the night this really shows a black pepper and meaty character, dark raspberry and plum, some whole cluster grain to the tannin, overall very nice balance, an overachiever for the vintage.

Was expecting a larger wine than the '14 but this wasn't the case, some reduction on the nose, a mix of white and black pepper, a nice freshness to the fruit, very purple but nice lift, very fine tannin, juicy and tasty and not the muscle bound overripe wine I expected.

Served blind; a see through crimson, color distinctly different from the other Gigondas; a ripe yet youthful nose of raspberry, figs, kirsch; very sappy on the palate displaying ripe fruit for the vintage but also an old vine weight and richness, warm stones, lots of fig and ripe red fruit, kirsh, finishing with the bitter baby aspirin note of Grenache; very tasty.

Loads of green apple, richer and more luxurious than most, almost to a Special Club level, hinting at almonds, lots of mineral; good.

Loved the light ethereal nose, all upper register green apple lemon lime and chalk, brisk acid, very refreshing, lots of verve; delicious.
