Domaine de Fontsainte

Gris de Gris Corbières Grenache Gris Rosé 2023

Sweet melon, grapefruit, and stone fruit. Delicious and well balanced, with the acid exhibiting strong presence without overbearing the more subtle tastes of rose water and mineral. Delightful. — 19 days ago

Château de Saint-Cosme

Gigondas Red Rhone Blend 2021

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of three days. Best on Day 3. The 2021 pours, a deep ruby color with medium+ viscosity and moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with gorgeous notes of black and red bramble fruit, red and purple flowers, black pepper, garrigue, dried herbs, rocky earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose where the pepper plays an even greater role. The finishes long and the texture is silky smooth. The high alcohol is almost imperceptible. On Day 1, this was good but not particularly interesting (though the quality was clearly there). After significant air, this blossomed into a really compelling Gigondas; full of character! Best after 2026 and through 2036+. — 21 days ago
