Very earthy with black wild blackberry fruit with olives and some prunes as well. Mature with integrated tannins so very soft into the finish which was quite long 30+ seconds. It's ready to drink for sure, but still has some time left to show well. A solid alternative to a CdP.

Drinking well and showing the ageing quality of great Gigondas. Smooth and very “sudiste”. Will keep some more so no hurry (although i doubt it will improve much)

Much going on with the nose: Spices, some damp leaves/forest floor, coffee, leather,dried fruits.Very smooth on the palate, which belied the 14.5% ABV. Velvety on the palate, and it got better over an hour or so.

Schokolade, Zigarrenkiste, Zeder, noch etwas Garrigue, rote Beerenfrucht; die Frucht ist abgeschmolzen, Tannin ebenfalls, die Säure etwas dominant. Gereift, möglicherweise nicht optimal gelagert, trotzdem noch ein leckerer Wein!

Beautiful mushroom soup. Love this tertiary phase, at which this seems to be at a nice peak. This is a great time to drink your remaining bottles.
