  Garrigue, some earth and red berries in the bouquet. Same on the palate, beautiful acidity and soft tannin. The wine is delicious and fully mature now.

  Mature but might improve. Lots of black pepper and raspberry. My last one of the 2012.

  Last of 6 bottles. Improved with 30 minutes of air. Medium red color with clear meniscus. On nose, garrigue, savory tobacco, sweet cherry and raspberry. On palate, flavor consistent with nose with medium body, medium acidity and low tannins. Long finish. Drank beautifully. 92-93 range.

  Decanted and let rest. Started out with classic Gigondas fruit on the nose and on the taste buds. It slowly evolved into a wine with lots of minerality. That led to a wine with an overdone mineral nose and tastes. This was unexpected and unpleasant.

  Pnp for the Kentucky Derby. Medium ruby-garnet in colour. Nose of dark red berries, incense, some baking spices with a hint of red licorice. Dark cherry cola with some sweet raspberries and peppery brambly red fruits are noticed on the palate. Medium-full bodied with a medium finish.
