Note di degustazione
Bright ruby-red. Lively and focused on the nose, displaying ripe red fruit, lavender and peppery spice aromas. Supple and open-knit, offering concentrated, appealingly sweet raspberry and candied licorice flavors that become livelier as the wine opens up. Finishes impressively long, smooth and juicy, with resonating licorice and red fruit notes and just a hint of fine-grained tannins.

70% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre, 14% Syrah, 1% Cinsault. Upland slope. 100% whole bunch (they tried everything and the best quality came from whole cluster; helps with freshness). 12 months aged in 30% concrete, 50% old oak, 20% new oak. Baked red fruit, sweet vanilla spice, delicious peppery character with beefy savoury flavours on the finish. Excellent depth and persistence. (RH)
The 2016 Gigondas is a classic wine from this estate that shows the house style as well as the quality of the vintage. Blackberries, black cherries, herbes de Provence, ground pepper, and tons of spice all emerge from the glass. It’s deep, medium to full-bodied, moderately tannic, and perfectly balanced. Buy a case and enjoy bottled anytime over the coming 10-15 years or more.
Even better than I remember it from cask, the 2016 Gigondas features hints of mocha and ripe raspberries. Slightly bitter herbal notes balance the sweetness of the fruit and impart a savory edge to this full-bodied, creamy-textured wine. It finishes supple and long, loaded with character and richness.
