It’s framed by fine-grained tannins and lifted by notes of pepper and spice, concluding with a firm, savory finish that hints at the presence of Mourvèdre. This is a beautifully balanced Gigondas with the depth and structure to evolve gracefully over the coming decade.’\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNoSpacing\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92 Pts James Suckling \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e‘Here's an excellent introduction to Gigondas with the richness and spice, plus the ample tannins we expect from this appellation.
