Note di degustazione
Dark ruby. Pungent aromas of dark berries and cherry pit, with complicating suggestions of garrigue and licorice. Fleshy and smooth on the palate, offering pliant dark berry and bitter cherry flavors sharpened by zesty acidity. Quite rich but lively as well. Finishes with gentle tannic grip and lingering spiciness, the dark berry element repeating emphatically.

The 2012 Gigondas les Terraces de Diable is outstanding. Made from roughly 85% Grenache and the balance Mourvedre and Clairette (which also makes its way into the Racines) and coming all from the upper, cooler terraces of the appellation, it exhibits ample garrigue, dried spices, dried soil and toast to go with medium to full-bodied richness, beautiful depth and richness and building, fine tannin. It picks up a salty minerality with air, and while already drinking nicely, will benefit from short-term cellaring and drink well through 2024.
Lively, peppery fragrance. Firmer and darker fruited on the palate than many from this appellation in this vintage. Powder-fine tannins. Dry and refined. A little bit slight on the mid palate but subtle rather than lacking. (JH)
