Deep red. Succulent fruit, a big and robust wine that requires something wholesome to go with it. I find it amazing I love fine-boned Burgundy above all things and then will happily drink something like this. A good autumn wine - broad and expansive with oodles of black fruits. Delicious in its place. Give it air. I see this lasting a good while yet, no hurry whatsoever.

Much better now - more ready now. Had it with steaks on the grill. A food wine. Powerful and delicious. A great wine for the price of 15Euro on location. Buy again next time in Gigondas!

Strong red, powerful. Rustic and herbal - great Gigondas! Excellent with sausages from the BBQ, less good with the prawns! Last bottle of the day, suspect that prior consumption neutralised much of what this had to offer but we all liked it!

A thick, meaty red. Very gamey, very powerful. Burly, rustic wine, very forward. Not shy, and definitely not elegant. Strong notes of menthol post swish. Needs strong food to accompany, not a contemplative sipper!

Little too big - fruit forward/alcohol level for my general taste, but a good solid wine. Best with beef or strong meats.
