  Dark red with slight violet hue.
  Very elegant on the nose - arctic blueberry, garrique, touch of pine/juniper wood, oak and leather with oriental spice and wet autumn leaves.
  Silky mouthfeel with undeniable power but gentle and refined.
  VERY nice and it will be interesting to see what some more time/air might bring.
  
  Coravin sample - Glass: Riedel Veloce Syrah

  60 minute decant. Nose is relatively faint, with red cherries and earth aromas. Black cherry, caramel, plum, and a hint of sassafras on the palate. A streak of bramble lead the finish of grippy tannins, dry dark cherry fruit, and old oak. The finish seems like it could unwind but it's nice now. Critics seem to find this more powerful than we did at this tasting.

  Popped and poured. An excellent Gigondas. Dark magenta-purple. Rich, full raspberry nose. But it is in the mouth where the true glories of this wine lie. Full, ripe, rich, voluptuous, fruit-filled, just gorgeous and unctuous, but also well-structured with stiff but chewable tannin. Easily one of the best Gigondas wines I have ever drunk, and it has not even peaked yet. Another example of Gigondas that I prefer to its more celebrated neighbors in CdP. 5-12-18-9: 94/100.
