In the glass, the wine has a glistening, dark royal purple color, almost black in the center, with flashes of magenta just at the edge. The classic Right Bank nose unfurls gradually with aromas of sun-warmed black raspberries, griotte cherries, and sweet white tobacco moving in and out of the foreground, sometimes alternating with Dutch cocoa, eucalyptus, and vanilla as the wine evolves in the glass.

On entry, the wine is luscious and succulent, building to a rich, juicy mid-palate, with a cornucopia of black and red fruit flavors that echo the nose, all lightly seasoned with toasted coconut, baker’s chocolate, and red berry acidity, and the long, elegant finish is punctuated with sinuous, fine-grained, dusty tannins. Drink now – 2027. — Moore Brothers Wine Company — 4 years ago

Beautiful Ruby color. Chilled for 15m before serving.

Green rhubarb, salal, bit of vinegar and alcohol on the nose. Touch of dark chocolate

Great mouthfeel, light and fresh with just a touch of tannin. Juicy and savoury. Cherry, plum, rhubarb. Bright acidity, low alcohol. — 4 years ago

Great dark triple in a 665cm3 bottle. Chocolate, smooth bitters with some caramel. Perfect after a strenuous drive on the RN 40 — 6 years ago

Vivid magenta. Pungent, mineral-tinged cherry, black raspberry, licorice and floral scents, backed by a building suggestion of vanilla. Deep and alluringly sweet, offering cherry and raspberry liqueur, lavender and mocha flavors supported by a spine of juicy acidity. Finishes impressively long and precise, with well-knit tannins and a strong echo of spice-laced red fruit. 40% new French oak. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, February 2020)

Just a beautiful #pomerol with elegant black currant aromas, velvety tannins and a faint echo of spice. This 2014 is a great representation of the region taken up a notch above very good.

Olive pips, brioche, pomelo, tangerine pith and lemon custard nose with a circus peanut candy whiff. Briny lemon entry that eases into candied peel, olive notes echo the scents, and a hard race to a very lemon and caper fulfillment that shimmers with crystalline citrus nectars. Far from moribund, this one scores big where other '05s have given up the ghost! That's the spirit! #champagne bubbles #frenchsparklingwine — 7 years ago

What an incredible bouquet on the 2016 Gour de Chaulé Gigondas, opening with violet florals and peppery spice, as crushed black raspberry, blueberry, sweet minerals, lavender and smoky minerals fill the senses. It washes across the palate with mineral-tinged black berry and spice, as a mix of minerals and youthful tannin, which perfectly frame the experience emerge along with purple florals which echo throughout. The finish is long, structured and perfectly balanced, resonating on spicy black fruits and violet flowers over a core of juicy acids.  The 2016 Gour de Chaulé Gigondas may be the best rendition of this wine that I’ve ever experienced. — 4 years ago

stage left and so was left amid the floorboards staged, wood like la brea, angst and time, the echo snakes its way as shadows do, purpose and rhythm on the drywall — 7 years ago

The high rating is not because I love Aaron Pott, it is not because we were eating at Echo and Rig in Vegas, it is not because the Somm here said it was fantastic when he tasted it... it was simply because it was awesome. Complex, balanced, smooth and lasting. Ready now.... hmmm... I wish I had tasting notes like Aaron. — 7 years ago
