Community Tasting Note

Mimesis Likes this wine:

Tuesday, July 29, 2014 - Gaillard uses plenty of new oak here, which is a high-risk strategy for a country wine. Luckily, it pays off. Transhumance dries the tongue for a second with a shade too much alcohol and wood, but then expands into a rich, warm flood of classic GSM flavor. It compares well with most Chateauneuf du Pape. The Languedoc minerality is relatively muted, but lingers afterwards, so it finishes as a Faugeres.

My bottle's condition was perfect - while nothing seemed in danger of fading, I could see no reason to wait another day to drink any bottles you might have.

Easily the best $20 wine I've had this year.
