Beautifully balanced, with perfectly ripened fruit, notes of Iocal herbs and pepper. I usually prefer the reds from Gigondas and Vacqueyras to the more expensive Chateauneuf du Pape and this wine shows why. Unlike many CndP, this wine does not veer into the over-ripe, hyper alcoholic wines that wow some noted reviewers but which become tiresome after the first two sips. This Gigondas is one that draws you back. Lovely stuff. Tasted Oct 2020.
