  Dalex nailed it in 2015 - is at its peak now - delicious! And it has fattened up in the last two years

  Lighter, thinner than I would have expected. Not much complexity but decent fruit.

  Drinking perfectly. Spicy dark fruit, some spice box, and slight tannins hiding behind some sweet fruit. Lots of delicate and intricate flavors behind a medium finish. Clearly this has evolved from the last tastings several years ago. However this will probably plateau for 3-5 years. This is really quite good.

  Inky red color. Lots of spice and floral notes on the nose. A very robust Gigondas that is just a bit too bombastic for my tastes. It is not overly fruity, or overly spicy, or overly acidic, it is just overly everything. Almost like the winemaker was trying too hard. It is not unpleasant to drink, and is quite smooth with a decent finish. Might benefit from some aging, but the tanins seem balanced so not so sure.

  Good color. The nose is very pure, showing rich red fruit, garrigue, pepper, oak, and a hint of flowers. This elegant on the palate, with good concentration and excellent balance. This is very ripe, but retains subtlety and class. Good length on the finish, with just enough acidity and civilised tannins.
