Needs air, at least two hours. Young, but coming around. Garrigue galore, slowly showing som sweet Grenache, has the rough exteriour of a 2015; probably still a couple of years short of the perfect spot.

The last of the 3 I bought in Gigondas. Still not sure to buy again. A light version of Gigondas but still notes and taste. Could be in the top of the light we tasted in Gigondas.

Second bomber wine of the evening! Really hit the pairing with this one and a pot roast. Unfortunately I think the wine was lost on my guests. ~ Great old world meets new world expression of the southern Rhône Grenache dominated blend. Cherry on the nose and the fruit seems super ripe and fresh. Upon drinking it starts fruit forward and then insanely long palate that takes a few layers to get through bringing the old world. Woody garden mulch. Some sharpness of a black peppercorn, fine beautiful tannin.

A good gigondas but not the best gigondas for 16Euro I have tasted. But nice, typical taste of gigondas. Definite taste of liquirice. Best with food. Bouquet also clear, especially in Riedel glass. Not sure to buy again, still...

Too much tannin still - wait a few years or drink with food. Has potential 80% Grenache - 20 % syrah 169 kr at https://www.godevine.dk/vin.aspx?productid=91051 130 kr at http://www.buhl-vinimport.dk/butik/roedvin/domaine-de-grapillon-gigondas-2016-6-flasker/

Nice spicy dark fruit on nose and palate. Classic Rhone elements. Prominent tannins on the med-long finish. A bit young - a few years of bottle age will probably help bring everything into balance.

Black and blue fruit, garrigue, vanilla on the nose and palate. Characteristic spice on the palate and finish. Medium bodied. Drink in one sitting; fell apart on Day 2. Good value.

Similar to last tasting note except the wine is more mature and balanced now. Drinking well on short decant.

Gouté en succursale avec d’autres nouveaux arrivages.
Beaucoup de fruits et d'épices avec de la guarrigue.
Assez long et ample avec une belle allonge.

Bon rapport qualité prix mais mériterait d'attendre encore quelques années pour trouver plus de longueur en bouche.
