Excellent — 3 months ago
One of my bottles from my annual WWC hosting. Part of a Grenache flight (including ‘19 Rotie Cellars “Big G”, ‘19 Saint-Damien Souteyrades Gigondas, ‘18 Andremily Grenache).
80% Grenache/ 20% Mourvèdre
I’m a fan of this Gigondas producer and think the wines exhibit an excellent value. After the first two Grenache wines, we take a dark (profile) turn here. Classical garrigue, dark potpurri, and spiced blackberries aromatically, with some leather and tobacco as well. Dark black fruits dominate the palate surrounded by bitter dark chocolate, black pepper, hint of charcoal and mineral. Concentrated but not sweet. In a delicious window now but benefitted from the air it got…no rush. — 3 months ago
Nose: closed.
Palate: very nice. Good grip.

On the nose, this is subtle cranberry... On the palate, it's cranberry, cherry, red plum... Dense tannin here but no sharp edges... A tinge on graphite here too, but in the distance... The whole package seems soft... Not so complex overall. Medium-long length on the finish. Nice. — 5 months ago
Bonkers. Jasmine aromatics, green apple acidity, almond and… sourdough? Honeycomb. Good god. More. — 3 months ago

From Chambers Street Wines (I think). A little funky, granny smith apples, lemon, oak, grass, vanilla. — 4 months ago
