The 2011 Gigondas, which is a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre that’s aged half in concrete and half in barrel, offers up pretty, perfumed notes of blackcurrant, creamy licorice, charred toast and crushed rock-like minerality on the nose. Medium to full-bodied, pure and beautifully textured, with surprising richness in the vintage, it should be even better in another year or so, and drink nicely for upward of a decade.

Powerfully rendered, with thickly layered black currant confiture, boysenberry and linzer torte flavors intertwined with bittersweet cocoa–covered coffee bean and licorice root notes. The finish is chiseled graphite, with good tension that should unwind in the cellar. Best from 2014 through 2022. 3,500 cases made.??–JM??Region: France / Southern Rh?ne / Gigondas Select to Add
