Community Tasting Note

Friday, July 13, 2012 - Seriously impressive right from the pop of the cork but well on its way to a tough closed state, given that the initial burst of expressiveness was fairly short-lived before it tightened up. Those first few moments offered an exposive aromatic punch of olives and cracked pepper - textbook Northern Rhone syrah, textbook Gonon - which remained the theme over the course of the bottle but became much more subtle. Structurally speaking, this stuff is fierce, certainly the most powerfully structured Gonon as far back as I can remember. There's a taut spine and the tannins are screechy and abrupt and will probably cause this to shut down hard once that inky berry fruit loses some of its primary sweetness.
