2005 Gigault Cotes de Blaye Red Blend Condition: Good bright ruby. Aromas of blackberry, licorice, mint and spicy oak, plus a sappy, tarry nuance. Very ripe but fresh on the palate, with notes of dark fruits, licorice and molasses. Tannins are currently substantial, and the wine's wood component needs time to integrate. ST ST89.87 |
