This Gigondas from Vieux Clocher is a complex, full-bodied red with aromas of ripe cherries, blackberries, smoke, and earth.On the palate, it is rich and velvety, with a hint of spice and a long, lingering finish. The tannins are firm and well-integrated, giving the wine a wonderful structure. The overall effect is one of elegance and balance, making it a pleasure to drink now or to cellar over the next few years.
