Tasting notes
The Barruol’s straight 2004 Gigondas is a beauty. Loaded with spice-box, cigar, currants and tinges of graphite, this medium-bodied, impressively balanced 2004 has a great mid-palate and a terrific finish. Made from 70% Grenache, 28% Syrah and 2% Cinsault that spent 12 months mostly in barrel (70%) before being bottled unfined and unfiltered, enjoy it over the coming 5-7 years.

Medium red. Pepper-accented red berry aromas are suave and penetrating. Nicely focused cherry and redcurrant flavors show good depth and are nicely framed by dusty tannins. Finishes clean, brisk and persistent.
Very vigorous young wine. Big, sweet and spicy. Glossy and glamorous. Slightly chewy tannins at present but there is not shortage of fruity core – and the personality is pure Gigondas. Neat and not too alcoholic, though no shy retiring flower. (JR)
