  Fabulous Gigondas. Not at all overpowering for a S Rhône despite its 15% abv. Fruit is restrained on the palate. Smokey minerals.

  Dark meaty fruits, iodine, garrigue, a touch of tobacco. Spicy finish. Fresh, youthful but tannin/acid/alcohol starting to harmonize. A touch of (interesting) green herbs emerged. Will improve over the next 5 years.

  Nose is highly aromatic with ripe cranberry, dark cherry, garrigue, floral notes, and a bit of French oak.
  A little hot at 15% but not offensive.
  Full body, med acidity, and med+ tannin.
  This is a fairly big wine but the buttons are holding on. The tannins frame the massive fruit and opulence. A bit more freshness would be nice, so beware.
  All in all, a powerful, delicious wine at this point that should hang on for the next 5+ years.

  Provence in a glass. As simple as that. Anise, lavender, Provençal herbs, wild berry fruit. Silky tannins. STGT. May be the best young Gig I’ve ever tasted. Hors classe indeed.

  A powerhouse that needs to settle down. A stallion that needs to settle down rather. Good stuff, just hang on.
