Le Claux Gigondas Grenache 2006

Stunning nose, evocative of violets, lavender, garrigue. Velvety mouthfeel, power, finesse. Dark fruit, tar, wood, brooding. Drink for another 5-7 years. Fabulous. — 7 years ago

Curious. I've never had kirschwasser. What does it smell like?

my comment was more for the taste than smell but cherry brandy pretty much sums it up ~ but now I'm going to have to try some and pay more attention to the smell vs taste of it!

Any tasting notes Michael? I've wondered how some of the second and third tier southern Rhones hold up over time

It was good. Still all alive and showing a sense of place. The perfect storage made it special. I don't feel it was special on its own.

Had this pesky damp vanilla note at first (like the one I've experienced on '10 Domain Wardy Beqaa Syrah.) But this subsided over time to reveal overripe red fruit and gripping tannin. Not sure if oak if the off-note culprit here. Very distinctive. — 8 years ago
