November 22, 2017 - Color: dark inky purple hues with minimal translucency.
Nose: jammy blackberries with toasted oak.
Flavor: for the forward - moldy blackberry, earth, and leather, immediately hit the tongue closely followed by light oak and a touch of white pepper, all very well balanced. The profile by the middle begins to show the weight of the wine - meaty, full bodied mouthfeel and chewy tannins. Finish is very smooth and the linger is a good minute or more. Dry. Full bodied.
A very decent Gigondas that has great QPR. Nothing exceptionally stands out, but instead all the check boxes are ticked: really good representation of the region. Good to drink now or let sit for years. Will continue to get this wine.1 person found this helpful 1,178 views
