So inky that it left residue in the whole bottle and stained the glasses I poured it into! But quite resolved now and quite pleasant. — 7 years ago

A really nice surprise and very different from most other Cotes du Rhone I’ve enjoyed.
A negocient wine from a legendary Gigondas house, 100% Syrah from two plots in Vinsobres and Gard
Medium Ruby with Medium (+) intensity and aromas and flavours of Black Plum, stewed black cherries, roast strawberries, violet, thyme, black olive and black pepper. The wine is meaty (raw bacon), gamey and smoky with leather, tobacco and liquorice.
Dry, medium (+) acidity, medium (+), soft ripe tannins, high alcohol but very well integrated, medium body, medium (+) intensity and finish.
Very good almost outstanding wine, just needs a little more depth, body and a longer finish. — 7 years ago

All fruit for this cuvée comes from Vinsobres (Guigal’s new source for CDR blends). Has the lift, acids and balance that ‘15 and ‘16 lacked a bit. Big dollop of pure, clean, juicy Syrah makes this a cut above. No simple little Grenache here. Fraises, ripe plums, grated spice. — 7 years ago

Well aged and drinking great. Prominent nose of dirt and earthiness with hints of dark flowers and spice. Palate of acidic fruit and firm structure and minerals amber long finish. Yum. — 9 years ago

Just what I wanted tonight. Just enough chalky tannin to go with the bright brambly fruit and bitter cacao. — 12 years ago
