Finishes with chalky tannins and a continuing element of greenness

with additional purity and focus

super ripe tannins and bold freshness

weight and power as well as a bit more complexity to the mineral-driven and impeccably well-balanced finish that is both explosive and palate staining

intense and stony medium-bodied flavors that possess more volume than those of the Reignots before terminating in a wonderfully long and impeccably well-balanced finale

Saint Cosme, Gigondas Claux Vintage:2015 Finishes with chalky tannins andLiquorice, cinnamon and strawberry, taking on some tobacco leaf now and vanilla. Oak is quite marked still. Rounded but not overly fat. Juicy, well balanced. Nice saline kick on the finish. Oak however is a little distracting on this vintage.
