  Two glasses by Coravin - first seemed good, quite intense dark fruit, some herbal notes, even mint I thought. Second one a few says later got the strange spritzy fizzy notes outlined below. Odd.
  
  Will see what the rest of bottle is like soon.

  Good, not great. Clearly too young for our tastes.

  No basil notes here (anymore). Dark cherry fruit, surprisingly cool, spicy. The Grenache is speaking. Slightly tight, needs more time in the cellar. More classical Gigondas compared to the 2016 for example. Should be interesting to follow.

  Superb. Bought this for £13 (ep) in 2013. Will always buy good Gigondas in favourable vintages.

  Not sure what to make of this wine. Double decanted for 8 hours. Nose is a combination of cassis, intense straw- and raspberry, some allspice and some ‘old books’. On the palate a strange almost spritzy feeling on the tongue. Will see how day 2 is, but based on todays showing not something for the long run and not great for the short run either
  
  Edit: no change on day 2
