Shane’s Notes

We definitely drank this one too young. After an initial taste, we decanted for about 45 minutes. The aroma boasts wet wool and sweet, red fruit. The palate shows subtle red fruit, toasted flavors and herbs. It is subtle and elegant. We enjoyed it but I still prefer Gigondas to Chateauneuf du Pape. To my palate, Giggy’s are more concentrated albeit a bit more rustic. I’ll accept the rusticity for the great concentration – I don’t want a subtle Rhone.
