Terrasse du Diable Gigondas Red Rhône Blend

In a sweet spot and better than expected 10 years on at this degree of alcohol. Great w rare New Yorks

Disappointing Ina strong vintage. The listed 14.5% alc was overbearing without enough intensity to back it up.

16.5/20 (91/100)

Малина со сливками, цветочные тона, молотый перец, изящно, полно. Тело умеренно плотное, вкус ягодно-перечный, интенсивный, с хорошей кислотностью и долгим пряно-перечным послевкусием.

Oh yeah. Ready to drink now, dark and berry-ful and awesome.

Gorgeous, dark fruit, velvety tannins. In love.

Wow this was a fun wine. Blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, and clairette From the brothers behind chateauneuf du pape Vieux Telegraph. Fantastic nose with a burst of floral and spice notes. Extremely earthy body with hints of raspberries, strawberries, flat cherry coke. Nice smooth tannins.

Violet, black fruit, herbs. Much more tannic than I’d expected. Maybe shoulda waited on this bottle, or maybe it’s just rough around the edges.

With the fabulous Diana.

Lovely afternoon with a lovely wine!
