This is firmly structured and very classy – in sum

though the drought in 2016 means that there is slightly less Cabernet Franc

It’s an excellent wine in a year that keeps on delivering right through the palate and hangs on for more

This is also quite tightly coiled and a wine that will need all of a decade to reach its peak

Perrin & Fils, Gigondas Tourelles Vintage:2017 This is firmly structured andOpaque, bright rimmed ruby. Intensely perfumed, mineral accented cherry and dark berry scents are accompanied by suggestions of licorice, candied flowers and exotic spices. Fleshy and broad in the mouth, offering deeply concentrated cherry pastry and blackberry flavors that become more energetic as the wine stretches out. Shows superb energy and mineral lift on an impressively long, subtly tannic finish that leaves behind a suave floral note. Josh
