  15% alcohol. Good long dense cork with no more than 5mm of wine penetration. The colour is medium with some fading at the edge.
  Very aromatic nose with wild cherries in evidence. The mouth is equally vivid with flavours matching the aromas and excellent acidity in the finish. Good grip, and the alcohol does not stick out. The back label mentions power in a velvet glove, and the analogy is apt enough.
  Not a typical Gigondas, but very satisfying nevertheless, with thanks to the generous donor.

  Best bottle so far. Drinking very nicely now, no sign of decline. Classic Rhone characteristics. Intense nose, good red fruit on the palate with some nice secondary elements. Really savoury. This had a spicy kick that I didn't notice in previous bottles. Enjoyable long finish.

  Had a magnum with a mild-spicy Mexican stew with friends. Very accessible and balanced now versus almost four years ago. Cherry kirsch, blackberry pie, garrigue, wild herbs, and candied strawberries. Drink before 2023. Technical score: 90. Enjoyment score: 91.

  Sort of ordinary. Short and maybe past its prime.

  Very nice Rhone. Showing some bottle age in a good way.
