Unsure about this one.Tasted with their Rasteau and Nimes. The latter two were not good at all. UNpleasant in fact. The gigondas has depth and breeding but not much earthy complexity. Strong grenache sense of center deep red fruit, not briary like CDP, but definitely some sense of leather and almost a citrus tone on the side. Compared with some of the great small grower gigondas of late, this does not look like it will play in the same leageau. But time could change that. Wait two years or more.
