  Final bottle of a case that finishes on top. I've consistently agreed over the years with Wine Spectator's initial praise and rating of this wine. This has shined in both its primary and now tertiary evolution. We drink tons of Gigondas because it's Mrs. Montesquieu's favorite. This 2010 St. Cosme is easily the best entry, <$40 Gigondas we've had from St Cosme, Santa Duc, St. Damien, and many others over the years. Rich, savory, even meaty in its older age. Plum, overripe strawberry, fruit cobbler. Terrific.

  A tad bit less rustic than your typical Gigondas. I would hope so given the price. This fared way better on day two. Keep at least five more years. Southern Rhone all the way.

  Amazingly vibrant and fresh for such a big wine, developing some delicious dark cherry flavours given further interest by some pleasing tannins. Warming and spicy this developed a velvety mouthfeel. Profound and complex the finish was lingering. At 14 years old this is still showing very well. CHP 92 pts

  PnD. Let air for 1hr.
  
  Inconsistent with previous note. It was in a dumb phase.
  
  Elegant balanced complex with intensity and finish. Fruit mineral and tertiary notes. In the Zone Drink Up.

  Made in a modern style, not at all rustic. This is still very fruit driven and not showing much secondary flavors. I have to say that I do not agree with those who believe this it is at its peak. Good but still has a way to go.
