Montirius Gigondas Confidentiel 2016

Deep bright-hued ruby. A vibrant, spice-accented nose evokes red berries, garrigue, incense and exotic spices. Juicy, focused and light on its feet, showing impressive clarity and a delicate touch to the sweet raspberry liqueur, spicecake and lavender pastille flavors. Silky, even tannins add shape and subtle grip to a wonderfully long, sweet finish that shows outstanding delineation and tension

The full-bodied Confidentiel is more open-knit in texture, velvety versus silken, with bright raspberry and cherry fruit and hints of chocolate and leather on the long finish.
