2020 Gigondas 'Racines', Domaine Les Pallières
"Shimmering ruby-red. The bouquet evokes pungent cherry, dark berry, floral, liquorice, black tea and smoky mineral aromas. Youthfully taut bitter cherry and black raspberry flavors show excellent depth, and a spicy touch of cracked pepper sharpens the back half. Subtly chewy tannins build on a very long, penetrating finish that leaves bitter chocolate and candied lavender notes behind."
