2011 Gigondas Domaine des Bosquets

The 2011 Gigondas is a resounding success in the vintage. A blend of 70% Grenache and the balance Syrah, Mourvedre and Cinsault, aged in a combination of older barrels and concrete, it offers up gorgeous cassis, black raspberry, spice-box and melted licorice to go with a medium to full-bodied, beautifully fruited and textured profile on the palate. Showing sweet tannin on the finish, this knockout Gigondas can be enjoyed anytime over the coming 7-8 years.

Full red. Deeply scented aromas of black raspberry, boysenberry and potpourri, with a subtle smoky undertone. Gently chewy berry preserve flavors are firmed by tangy acidity and pick up an exotic note of lavender pastille with air. Open-knit and appealingly sweet, with good finishing clarity and sappy persistence. There's an almost New World character to this wine's fruit expression.

Violet. Duften er varm og fyldig med masser af hindbær, krydrede noter med snert af cedertræ og sort peber. Smagen er fed og fyldig med krydrede noter, hindbær, sort peber og en dejlig fast frugtsyre med bid. En del bittertoner i denne unge vin. Et touch af frugtsødme bevares i vinen fra start til slut. Virkelig en frugtfrisk kraftfætter der ikke lader sine kolleger i CdP meget tilbage at ønske. Drik 2016-2022.
