92/100. The Gigondas La Grille 2012 offers layers of kirsch, dried spices, leather, garrigue and classic style charcuterie to full-bodied to full-bodied. Reminiscent of a Provençal street market (which I always get from classic Gigondas), it has ultra-fine tannins, excellent concentration and a rocking finish. Drink this beauty through 2025 |
