Chateau de Saint Cosme - Gigondas 2022 (Pre-arrival) (750ml)

94 Points Wine Spectator

“Expressive notes of pomegranate and raspberry show pretty lavender perfume alongside wafts of apple wood smoke and black pepper. Fine yet substantial tannins hold a firm grip, with graphite power building. Concentrated and firmly structured on a sleek, powerful frame. Tightly wound, this will be even better with a few years in the cellar. Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah and Cinsault.”  

93 Points Wine Advocate

“The 2022 Gigondas from Château de Saint Cosme is showing particularly well today, evoking a fresh, complex and fruity bouquet of pepper, violet, crushed strawberries and menthol mingled with delicate notes of garrigue. Medium to full-bodied, delicate and textured, it's perfectly balanced with good depth at the core and a long, mineral and ethereal finish. It's a blend of 70% Grenache Noir, 15% Mourvèdre, 14% Syrah and 1% Cinsault that matured 20% in new barrels, 50% in used barrels and the rest in concrete tanks. This is a wine that could age gracefully over the next decade.”
