Domaine du Grapillon d’Or 1806 Gigondas 2018

The 2021 Gigondas boasts lovely florals that suggest roses and violets, plus garrigue and black cherry notes. It’s medium to full-bodied, not the rich, blockbuster-concentrated wine that some vintages at this address can yield, but charming, balanced, silky and easy to drink. Tasted twice (once blind), with consistent notes. Drink date: 2023-2035. (Joe Czerwinski,Other,May 16, 2024)
