Deep red/purple color. Nose is boozy and lavender. First 1/3 of taste is licorice and faint red berry. The berry hangs around. Medium to heavy tannin. Tasted about about a 15 minute decant. Quite pleased with this Gigonda cru.

Quite powerful with rich palette, Mourvèdre speaking loudest at this stage. Still quite tannic so I will let these rest a few more years to settle. Interesting to note that this estate appears to have 2 completely different labels for the same wine. Or is it? Mine have the traditional look with picture of the estate centered.

Medium garnet. Vinturi decanted. Mushrooms and earthy on the nose. Some fallen-away micro fruit.

Seems like typical gigondas. Had same vintage in 1/2023 with similar experience. Not much fruit. More olive on the nose this time.

Hmm - smells a little off - a nights air did not help too much...
