Beautiful bouquet with a lot of good garrigue, red and black berries. Same on the palate, juicy acidity and friendly tannin with still a pleasant bite. Fresh and a good length. Ready now and the next few years.

This wine has really improved with age! The roughness of Gigondas tannins have mellowed into a beautfuillu balanced Southern Rhone that states like a top end Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Feminine smoothness to what was a bit meaty in its youth. Red fruit flavors are strongest, but black fruit ones are not far behind in the mix. Wish I had more bottles of this, but I drank the rest too early!

Pop and pour. Meaty, smoky Grenache with furry tannins, garrigue, mature fruit. Showing beautifully. Old world style.

Pnp and drank over 3 hours. It was good but not great, previous bottles showed better. Not sure if this will improve further or this is what it is.
