Really classic Gigondas. Powerful and full bodied with a very good balance. It is clearly dominated by ripe grenache, but the fine tannins, the herbs and spices keeps it pretty fresh. Will for sure buy from this domaine again. Drinking a point, but it will be good for the next five years - maybe more.

Initially a bit harsh, yet true to form in terms of fruit; it's splentiful. Solid structure, dry, licorice, kirsch here, still too young, needs serious time, I think. It does open with time, edges closer to the 2016 - yet neverreaches it.. Stay away now for at least 2-3 years - probably longer. #RH-arkitekter

Tasted along side a sip of 2015. 2018 more dense in color and taste. Full bodied with well integrated mature tannins. Excellent food wine. A very good effort for a more troubled vintage than 2015 - both quit warm vintages.

A delightful wine. 75% Grenache and 25% Syrah gives this wine power, intensity, and finese. Wild red and black berries, bramble, and a peppery spiciness. Drinking well now with a decant but many years ahead of it.
