  Needs a ton of air & time - but it’s very well made. Barruol’s use of whole cluster really shows in his Gigondas - and it’s fantastic for it!
  
  If you must drink now, give it 2+ hours. Otherwise, hold another year or two

  Fruit forward, with strong peppery flavor s of cherry plum strawberry vanilla and leather. High tannin and alcohol , medium body and long finish.

  By the glass in London. Was attracted to this by the Château-Grillet label! The wine was not on C-G’s level, but still quite good. Nose is a bit coarse. Plummy-violet character. Quite light in structure. Slightly hot. Struck me as a young-drinking wine although the consensus below seems to be that it’s an ager.

  Only rating it a 90 for now, but it has the potential to evolve significantly.
  
  The palate was a medley of dark fruits, plums, brown sugar, a little molasses with good acidity. The tannins were quite present, I'd open my next bottle in 3 years.

  Rustic, intense, spicy with good acidity. Needs age, too young.
