Famille Perrin La Gille Gigondas 2012

A blend of 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah, from multiple vineyards and terroirs, the 2012 Gigondas La Gille offers layers of kirsch, dried spices, leather, garrigue and cured meats in its medium to full-bodied, classically styled personality. Reminiscent of a Provençal street market (which I always get from classic Gigondas), it has ultra-fine tannin, excellent concentration and a rocking finish. Drink this beauty through 2024. Score - 92. (Jeb Dunnuck, erobertparker.com, Oct. 2014)
