Supple and appealingly sweet
It's one of the finest vintages for Alión
Made from Balthazar's youngest Cornas vines
energetic and refined barely middle weight flavors exude a subtle minerality on the lingering and balanced finish
which now owns such iconic Napa names such as Beringer
Santa Duc, Gigondas Size:12x750ml Supple and appealingly sweetThe still tannic, structured and firm 2005 Gigondas, even now at 10, needs further cellaring. Graphite, crushed rock, black fruits and smoked herbs all emerge from this medium to full bodied, tight, yet concentrated and masculine styled Gigondas that has impressive purity and length. I continue to believe in this wine, and think it needs another 2 3 years of cellaring, but it's certainly taking its time to come around.
