2012 TOP 50 WINES - Rank #30
The 2010 Chateau de Saint-Cosme Gigondas offers beautiful perfumed aromas of fresh raspberry, plum, spice cake, forest floor, lavender, smoke and scorched notes. Ultra-smooth and silky with a soft caressing mouthfeel staying fresh from the underlying minerality and acidity. Shows impeccable balance from start, all the way through the long spice-tinged finish. This is a flat out drop dead gorgeous Gigondas. Composed of 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 18% Mourvèdre and 2% Cinsault. (Best 2013-2025) - October, 2012 (JD)
