August 31, 2022 - Bret and Dark Berries on the nose. More pronounced on the palate. This is as integrated as it will get - at it's peak. The alcohol is too high for me.
It's time to drink these.
Caveat - I don't mind some Bret (this has too much).
April 26, 2022 - Despite its age this was still drinking well. A very nice wine.
November 5, 2020 - Takes a bit of air but a very nice Gigondas.
September 19, 2015 - Inky. Fruity, pleasant nose. On the palate I get red berries, some tannins, good acidity. Initially It is however out of balance, but four hours of air does wonders. I guess however it will evolve positively.
January 18, 2013 - This wine is really coming together. Beautiful nose with fruit, lavender and earth - like walking up to the Dentelles! Full-bodied, rounded tannins, integrated...wonderful!
I have one bottle left, and I guess I will keep it for 2-3 years - at least.
Really a wine for the patient!
November 19, 2011 - Not in check, inky and cloying on the palate. Needs age and less oak.
February 28, 2011 - Do not keep longer.
August 8, 2008 - Caveau du Gigondas: Rasp, red frt; cedar nuances, ok
August 8, 2008 - Caveau du Gigondas: Supersilky, smooth, less typical
