Solid Gigondas .. in the first hour after opening it was rather disappointing ... I felt it was not well structured .. sour without any power ,but it opened with well structured tannins and a variety of red fruits ,licorice ,leather and soil ... I had it without food but I suggest it must be great with lamb-chops or beef ....

This was the last bottle of six. And beyond doubt the best. Dark red. Lots of sediment. Nose will take you directly to Gigondas on a warm summer evening. Very balanced, maybe a little on the light side, compared with other Rhône’s. I reckon it is due to the 50% Grenache content. Lovely!

Definitely slow to come around on opening, and great on second day.

This was a positive surprise. Did not expect it to be quite so delicious. Solid 93 points and it held up well over 3 nights
