Tasting notes
Deep, brilliant magenta. Powerful, spice-accented aromas of ripe dark berries, cherry-cola, lavender, pungent herbs and licorice are energized by a smoky mineral top note. Densely packed and concentrated, offering intense, alluringly sweet blueberry, cherry liqueur and floral pastille flavors that show superb detail and mineral cut. Finishes with resonating florality, youthfully gripping tannins and outstanding, mineral-driven tenacity. All whole clusters and one-third new oak. (JR)

Deep, dark, rich, showy, full-bodied, intense wine with layers of black raspberries, kirsch, and plums that fill your palate with its ocean of fruit. Even with all of its concentration and richness, everything remains in balance, leaving you with a rich, fruit-packed finish. Drink from 2023-2035.
The 2019 Gigondas Hominis Fides is cut from the same cloth and has power, purity, and elegance. Ground herbs, Provençal spice, black raspberries, blackberries, and assorted peppery notes give way to a full-bodied, concentrated Gigondas with a great mid-palate, perfect balance, and a great finish. It has some charm today, but smart money will hide bottles for a few years.
95% Grenache, 5% Syrah. Aged in oak barrels, 30% new. Organic. Barrel sample. Tasted blind. Fresh fruit – lots of generosity here. Tight fruit on the mid palate and plenty of potential. Chewy fruit dominates but huge power. Big style – needs plenty of time to come together. Very ripe and structured at the same time. So much power here to resolve. (AC)
