Delicious gigondas, the 11th bottle of a case, and we're sad to be down to the end. The wine is a beautifully aged, mature gigondas, with red fruit, lavender, spice and a little garrigue. If you have any, now is a perfect time to open a bottle.

Very tasty tonight, with red fruit, pepper, earth and a hint of game on the finish. Nicely balanced, soft tannins, drinking beautifully.

Still very tasty, but time to drink up. Red cherry, pepper, lavender and earth flavors, nicely balanced.

Still lots of lavender, cherry, olive and mineral flavors, nice balance. Drinking nicely, but don't wait much longer!

Not a big fan, but it is getting better with age.

Tourelles is always a winner, especially for the price. This one did not disappoint, although could use a couple more years.

Still abrupt on the start, but nice peppery flavor.
