Estimate
Very complete and complex wine that has intensity and elegance. Raspberry and rose-like perfume, this has a long, red-fruit core with dark spices wrapped deep into the heart of the palate. Detailed texture, the noble, long tannins cloaked in wild, red plums and berries. Terrific freshness here. Wow.
Blackcurrants, black olives, exotic spices, and crushed rock notes all flow to a powerful, concentrated, tannic Gigondas that has remarkable purity and elegance. It shows the balance and freshness, as well as richness, that makes this vintage so compelling...
Full-bodied and rich but silky and almost lacy in texture, it marries raspberries and apricots with lovely herbal nuances and a lingering finish.
Juicy and a bit compact, with black currant, bitter cherry and fig flavors wrapped up behind notes of dried anise, singed alder and bay leaf. Shows sleek iron minerality through the finish.
Perfumed floral and red fruits on the nose – impressively open and expressive on the nose already. Rich and mouth-filling and lengthy with the most delicious purity right from nose to finish.
