Лимон, цитрусовое масло, битые морские камни, пот, холодная сталь, растертые зеленые листья, легкие бензольные тона. После нескольких часов раскрывается недозрелыми дыней и гуавой. Среднетелое, вкус строгий и довольно напористый, пронзительный и чистый. Натянутая упругая структура с хорошей внутренней глубиной. Точный баланс яркой кислотности, вертикальной солёной минеральности и маслянистой цитрусовой основы. Чуть тёплый финиш с легкой горчинкой. Холодное и наэлектризованное, красиво собранное, очень молодое, с сильным заделом на будущее. 17+/20

Given that I am the only reviewer thus far, I feel the need to provide an update. Enjoying my last bottle now. The nose is of prune, stewed fruits, earth. On the palate, the tannins are now fully integrated, muddled blue and black fruits dominate, with some raisin and prune. A much better showing than my prior review. I feel almost apologetic because this is a very good Gigondas. I wouldn't hold this longer though.

Finally had the luxury of tasting the illustrious Colgin Syrah. An 03, singing. In its prime. This wine cannot get any better. Roasted dark fruit, black roasted figs. Entry of roasted fruit and wild herbs. Savory notes to the finish. This wine will not be a fan of your savory grilled ribeye in a glass syrah lovers. But this one strikes the line and really balanced. This is just about as much meaty funk as a non-meaty Syrah lover likes, yet is incredible overall. Very nice Syrah. But, drink now. — 6 years ago
A completely different wine than the Dominus. This was full throttle and slams you back in to your seat with its G forces. So ripe, almost over the top; but it decelerates just in time and the finish is so succulent it lingers in your mouth forever. Filled to the tip of the cork with graphite and teeth staining purple fruit. This is the malevolent bastard child of a young Colgin IX Syrah and 2000 Chateau Pavie. Gobsmacker. — 7 years ago
