This is even spicier with a really lovely panoply of various spice elements that include sandalwood

and liquid stone

It needs a bit of time to soften and meld but should improve well through 2037

has a great mid-palate

Perrin & Fils, Gigondas Vv Brut Zero opening up and showing moreDark and rather roasted, with mesquite and braised fig aromas and flavors leading the way, followed by currant confiture, fruitcake and melted black licorice. Hefty and powerful, but singed apple wood and iron notes on the finish give this the cut and definition it needs for balance. Very long. An impressive wine. Drink now through 2018. 50 cases imported.
