May 31, 2021 - Our last of these, and probably the best if a little faded. When I think of classic Gigondas I think of Cayron with a lot of age on it; autumn leaves, forest floor, subtle baking spice, kirsch, all that kind of stuff. Great pairing with cassoulet, if not quite the equal of the 1998 Vieux-Telegraphe

December 5, 2019 - This is great --but somehow I think I like the 2015 and 2016 versions more? This is dark with no bricking. Cork was about 1/10th saturated and in great shape. A very mineral nose with a bit of Twizzlers licorice and fruit. Just a hair of tertiary garrigue funk.

July 7, 2018 - Waited a bit too long on this one.. Slightly cloudy and unfocused. Tasty nonetheless.

October 20, 2014 - Deep garnet / ruby with no orange maturity hue. Big Grenache fruit with a touch of sandalwood and anise on the nose. Took a few minutes to settle down - the palate is very lively. Saturating and rustic flavors are lovely on a cool fall day. In your face, the fruit and pepper finish are bold. A big mouthful of wine - classic garrigue flavors. This is old school. (90)
