Deep brick red
Aroma:
Date, dark berries, spice, hint of oak
Palate:
Silky tannins, mouth coating, warming, medium length.
The Gigondas has a beautifully complex fruit cake flavour of rich dark berries, dried fruit and spices. The tannins have softened with age and are now a gentle silk over the mouth, not over staying their welcome. I would recommend drinking it now at such beautiful maturity, I wouldn't wait another year.
This wine was apart of a very special occasion for me and it was the perfect choice. (264 views) | | | Tasted by rmarkey on 2/7/2020 & rated 90 points: Very good. 14.5% alc.
Colour:deep black berry
Bouquet: sweet black berries, licorice, cloves, black pepper and spices
Palate: just like bouquet, cereal, dark chocolate, full body, great berry mouthfeel, good acid, long finish. At its limits now though.

On CellarTracker, Red Rhone Blend is the term for a wine consisting of two or more of the traditional 13 Southern Rhone grape varieties. Typically it's the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre or Cinsault grapes, but can also contain the Muscardin, Counoise, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Picpoul, Roussanne, Terret Noir, Picardan or Vaccarese grapes.
A 'food' wine. Lacking pretension and intended for local consumption with local cuisine. Lacks the 'high' notes on a Bordeaux, more earthy and sharper so often a better partner to meat dishes with a sauce.
