Domaine la Bouissiere Gigondas 2015 [VM 92]

“Saturated ruby. Intense red and blue fruit aromas, along with suggestions of star anise, lavender and white pepper. Sweet and penetrating on the palate, offering sappy, focused black raspberry and boysenberry flavors that deepen and spread out steadily on the back half. Smoothly combines power and finesse and shows no rough edges. Fine-grained tannins sneak in late on the long, juicy finish, which leaves behind a suave floral pastille note.” Vinous 91-93 Points

“The richly textured 2015 Gigondas Tradition deserves a couple of years' cellaring before being enjoyed. This full-bodied blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Syrah boasts gorgeous aromas of stone fruit and dried spices, a velvety texture and a long, complex finish.” Wine Advocate 92 Points

“Fleshy and alluring, with friendly plum sauce and warm fruitcake flavors backed by singed alder and light tobacco hints, while good grip supports the finish. Approachable, but no rush.” Wine Spectator 92 Points
