Intensely stony, minerally nose also displays dark blackberry fruit. Rich, inky and mouthfilling, the palate starts with low-toned dark fruit and segues into crushed rock and some drying tannins in the clingy finish. A really fine example of old-school Giggie.

Apr 18th, 2018Rich and soft style of Giggie. Nose has dark blackberry, some bakers chocolate, and a little bit of minerally earth. Brambly, intense blackberry fruit coats the mouth, with a note of moist earth/humus. Lots of soft tannin and a very pure, relatively long finish, in which an iron note lingers. I usually go for more terroir-driven Giggies, but this is well done in the more fruity style that avoids jamminess.
