TASTING NOTE: The 2015 Gigondas Pierre Aiguille is an elegant, polished wine from this estate and is made from 80% Grenache and 10% each of Syrah and Mourvèdre. Destemmed and aged in tronconique tanks, it offers a slightly darker slant to its fruit with notes of black raspberries, cassis and toasted spice. These carry to the palate where it shows surprising texture and beautiful tannin quality. All in all, it should end up being an outstanding wine that will drink nicely for 10-12 years.
