Wow, this was so taut and hairy. After an hour, it barely loosened up. At 2 hours it behaved. Dark fruit and so much leather! Listening to Miles Davis. — 11 days ago

One of my bottles from my annual WWC hosting. Part of a Grenache flight (including ‘19 Rotie Cellars “Big G”, ‘19 Saint-Damien Souteyrades Gigondas, ‘18 Andremily Grenache).

80% Grenache/ 20% Mourvèdre

I’m a fan of this Gigondas producer and think the wines exhibit an excellent value. After the first two Grenache wines, we take a dark (profile) turn here. Classical garrigue, dark potpurri, and spiced blackberries aromatically, with some leather and tobacco as well. Dark black fruits dominate the palate surrounded by bitter dark chocolate, black pepper, hint of charcoal and mineral. Concentrated but not sweet. In a delicious window now but benefitted from the air it got…no rush. — a month ago

Medium Ruby red color with aromas of red fruits, floral and spice notes. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with notes of black pepper, nuts and spice. Fine tannins, long juicy savory finish, ending with fruit, cacao, spice and slight earthy notes. Drink well now, will cellar! — a month ago
