Tasting Notes
Vinous 91-93
Deep ruby. Highly fragrant raspberry, boysenberry and Asian spice scents show excellent clarity and pick up a floral quality with air. Deeply concentrated but lithe red and dark berry flavors caress the palate and show no rough edges. Candied lavender and spicecake notes linger on a very long, subtly tannic finish that echoes the blue fruit note.
Wine Advocate 96
Coming from a small corner parcel of the La Colline vineyard, the utterly sensational 2015 Gigondas La Colline is primarily Grenache that includes a touch of whole clusters and is still aging in one- to three-year-old demi-muids. It possesses a huge nose of black raspberries, blackcurrants, toasted spice and garrigue in a stacked, full-bodied, concentrated, yet weightless style. It’s certainly up with the top handful of wines in the vintage and should not be missed!
