Gigondas: Saint Gayan 2005
Description
A powerful, brooding, uncompromising Rhône wine with great intensity and depth of flavour. A jammy nose precedes a palate exhibiting excellent concentration of ripe, baked stone fruit (plums & damsons) with textbook spicy undertones and firm, warming tannins.
What others think of this wine...
John Livingstone-Learmonth (www.drinkrhone.com) in Decanter Magazine says:Refined, promising nose of pure, ripe Grenache (80% of blend) which sets up the palate beautifully. This is spiced, peppery, tight-knit and long. Has a good line of tasty tannin, surrounded by black fruits, so a tinkle of freshness occurs. Extremely good, classic Gigondas. Drink for its great first youth appeal from today, or be more sage and run with it from 2012, when it has more complexity. Abundant promise.
Meirion Williams in Men's Health Magazine says:The bottle to savour - I picked the grapes myself! (Well, I did a week's harvesting...). Another superb vintage from a great estate, this Grenache-based blend is spicy, intense and boasts a concentration of ripe, jammy fruits. Ideal with lamb or roasted Provençal vegetables
