Tardieu-Laurent Gigondas Vieilles Vignes, Rhone, France 2020 Manzanilla Sanlucar de Barrameda The wine is firmly structured

The wine is firmly structured and robust

Wonderfully aromatic with lively fruit and minerality and a lovely zest and charge on the palate

for the right emphasis of well integrated tannins that do not bite but are rightly felt

Beautiful on the palate as well

Tardieu-Laurent Gigondas Vieilles Vignes, Rhone, France 2020 Manzanilla Sanlucar de Barrameda The wine is firmly structuredA racy red, with baked plum, sappy cassis and wet earth and vanilla tinged incense notes that slowly emerge. The round palate is nicely offset by a savory vein of crushed iron and smoke, with grippy tannins firming up the structured, densely packed yet elegant finish. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvdre. 91 Pts Wine Spectator
