L.S. Silver Likes this wine: 93 points
August 10, 2022 - Colour:
Deep brick red
Aroma:
Date, dark berries, spice, hint of oak
Palate:
Silky tannins, mouth coating, warming, medium length.
The Gigondas has a beautifully complex fruit cake flavour of rich dark berries, dried fruit and spices. The tannins have softened with age and are now a gentle silk over the mouth, not over staying their welcome. I would recommend drinking it now at such beautiful maturity, I wouldn't wait another year.
This wine was apart of a very special occasion for me and it was the perfect choice. -

February 7, 2020 - Very good. 14.5% alc.
Colour:deep black berry
Bouquet: sweet black berries, licorice, cloves, black pepper and spices
Palate: just like bouquet, cereal, dark chocolate, full body, great berry mouthfeel, good acid, long finish. At its limits now though.
