| TASTING NOTE: The 2014 Gigondas la Gille comes almost all from estate fruit (there's some very old vine fruit from Franck Alexandre), and comes all from sandy soils, vinified with a more gentle extraction than the Beaucastel releases. From a difficult vintage, it's a smokin' wine that offers elegant, perfumed notes of kirsch, bouquet garni and black cherries on the nose. These give way to a medium-bodied, supple, seamless Gigondas that has more upfront charm and character than most in the vintage. While I doubt it will make old bones, it will certainly evolve nicely on its overall balance and harmony. Drink Date: 2016-2024. Score - 90 (Jeb Dunnuck, robertparker.com, March 3, 2016) |
