Pretty ripe,, a little overripe after being open a day. — 9 months ago
Another one from a perfect cellar I just purchased. Cork in perfect shape. Wine is a beautiful example of aged gigondas. Almost Bordeaux like to start then some soil’y Loire quality and now it’s almost barolo like with deep ripe red fruits, iodine and smoked earth. Really lovely. Hit me up for a preview on this cellar. Prices are stupid good as the wines are premium examples of stuff you just can’t find — 3 years ago

Had it with a Tri Tip on Christmas and went great. Lighter than expected, wonderful. — 4 months ago
Well balanced, black fruit, nice full body. Good value and a good crowd pleaser. Nothing you wouldn’t like about this wine! — 6 months ago

We explored nine Grand Montmirail wines from Gigondas spanning 2009-2019, all GSM blends as typical. This 2009 was the winner. — 2 months ago
