Community Tasting Note

  • Eudemis Likes this wine:

    November 26, 2022 - 14.5% alcohol. Short anonymous cork of reasonable quality, but hey it did the job as there is virtually no wine penetration. Dark impenetrable colour all the way to the rim.
    Lovely dark fruited nose (mostly fresh but some lightly stewed too) with liquorice in evidence too. Juicy and energetic in the mouth with a substantial uplift in the finish thanks to superbly judged acidity. The alcohol does not impinge, and the overall impression is of a much fresher wine than typical for Gigondas; good grip too. True to the Montirius style which downplays opulence.
    A success without a doubt, and in perfect condition at age ten.
