Great Gigondas

2004 Domaine de la Maurelle
Gigondas
$16.99
Shane’s Notes

The aroma is floral and shows light cherry and blackberry. The palate is concentrated with heavy flavors of violets and lavender. There is also some ripe, plummy, sweet fruit There is a good minerality underneath, and it is just a little rough on the palate, probably a bit tannic. It has a very long finish. It was excellent. This one should probably be aged for a few years – we decanted for 30 minutes.
