Watery and over-oaked. 2008 is a lame vintage for Rhone and this bottle is a good example. Sweet vanilla, tobacco, plum and raspberry on the palate. Unbalanced but Perrin still make it a little more drinkable, more an Aussie style than traditional Rhone. Not my type, horrible price, my advice is to skip this.

Wine Festival Tasting Room, quick notes. A feminine wine, showing aromas of cherry, plum, and a touch of spice. Simple on the palate, giving off plum and dark berry notes.

Slightly disappointing. It's all there, but just felt a little flat for a Gigondas.
