It is approaching its peak and not far off. The nose is garrigue and mint with a bit of alcohol vapor still. On the tongue the wine reveals really fine structure and deep, chewy black fruit with a hint of licorice. This is a winter wine.

2007 Guigal Gigondas. Southern Rhone perfection! Black cherry. Blackberry. Earthy minerals. Iodine. Roasted herbs. Balance. Length. Softness. Only bad thing is it was my last bottle.

Very nice Gigondas. Very well balanced. No hard edges with a touch of glycerin and a nice 30 second finish. Need to give it 30 minutes or so to let it’s true character come out

Vivid ruby red with a slight hint of brown. Deep raspberries dominate with a hint of thyme, garrigue and parsley. Even at ten years, it's still full bodied with bright red fruits and integrated tannins.
