Community Tasting Note

Thursday, March 22, 2007 - Deep garnet with a touch of purple – somewhat dull at rim. Black fruits, garrique, and oak on the nose. Violets and the weirdest hint of artichoke – actually more than a hint. Bubbly and somewhat unstable feel on the tongue. I have had this sensation with Gigondas (particularly this Domaine) before and I must admit to hating it. Medium bodied. My wife likes this bottle. Is this VA?? I don’t know, but I don’t find it pleasant at all. (75) I went back to this after 3 hours and it settled down a bit. The spritziness left and things rounded out a bit. This made it much more enjoyable, but still not great. This needs time. I am upping the score - no idea what the potential is with 10 more years -- save other bottles until 2015. (85+?)
