Gigondas, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Classic Gigondas, a bit young, but delicious.

Deep purple, mulberry and blueberry fruit, black pepper, forest floor, and green tea. Spicy with pepper fruit, dark berries, with hints of vanilla. Heat spikes on the midpalate. Syrah seems more dominate, although it’s 20% (80% Grenache). Paired with burgers.

Jan 28th, 2018Decanted for 2+ hours. Spicy and savory, almost gamey, well balance nose. Red currant jumps out, with ripe, but not jammy red fruit on the palate. Pleasant acidity to a finish that is medium in length.

Very closed wine, almost bitter and very woody.
Did not live up to the expectations

Way too early, interesting but needs time to integrate.
