A big wine but not over the top or spoofed. Blackberries, pencil lead, plenty of tannin left and just beginning to show some umami. Leave it alone for a few more years.

Coté légèrement plus élevé. Contexte différent ou évolution de la cuvée. J'opterais pour cette dernière, je crois que ce vin est maintenant à son apogé. Nez très ouvert, olive noire, cacao, romarin, une large palette pour l'interprétation, richesse en bouche, tanins intégrés, longue persistance, rivalise avec bien des CdP. Excellent qualité-prix. Jean P a beaucoup apprécié.

At a tasting, poured with some pretty good stuff, held up well. Surprised that is was an 08, tasted like a better vintage. Yummy and concentrated, typical Gigondas palate.

dark berries on the nose, sweet and salty up front, tight and clean at the end, short finish, not very fruity. needs 1/2 hour breathe time.

Very good, but not superb. Alcoholic heat and dark fruit with some glycerine. Pleasurable drink, finish a bit short at the last glass.
