  Tasted vis-a-vis Cayron, this has a bit more to offer at this stage; concentrated wine with a core of kirsch, sweet Grenache and a local feel, that starts appearing - slowly. Herbs galore, well structured. Still very young indeed.

  Very fine juice and ready to go, very fine balance here with lots of fruit, Grenache speaks, in the background. Still young, will live for a long time, very precise.

  Still young and fresh with a backbone of minerals and primary fruit; grenache is here, but there is a cool, dark and precise air to this wine, certainly showing off the terroir. Where's the beef? Right here, Sir. Will live a long time.

  CV. Dark red, red tinge, 5.5. Wonderful southern Rhône bouquet, garrigue, dark fruits, herbs, thyme, rosemary...
  Harmonious palate, some tannin, bitterness in the long finish. Drink now-2026.
  This has certainly evolved in to a classic Gigondas to be enjoyed with a solid meal.

  Well, my last bottle and of course, it is the best by far. Should have waited on the other ones. That said, the double decant and slow ox for 7 hours helped expand the flavour profile a lot. A seamless balanced wine. Great!
