Southern Rhône trip with Rainer. Tasted at Caveau du Gigondas. 14% ABV. €30. Sweet, artificial fruit and dried herbs, with sound concentration and good length, but with unpleasant, drying tannin that stood in contrast to the sweet fruit. I wasn't able to get passed the drying oak tannin and fear that the tannin will outlast the fruit. I would pass. 87(-)(?)
