Big flavours abound here: layers of red berry fruits,dusty tannins and a certain visceral gaminess with a very long, broad finish. The nose suggests savoury red meats with notes of spice, mint or pine resin and an essence of the wild. Naturally it provides the perfect partner for rich meat dishes and game.
In awarding this wine 90 points The Wine Advocate's Jeb Dunnuck wrote:
" The 2012 Gigondas is outstanding. Offering up an elegant, perfumed style, with pretty strawberry, raspberry, spice-box and menthol, this beauty flows onto the palate with medium-bodied richness and depth, integrated acidity and a clean, classy finish."
