"Gigondas Les Rocassieres 2010 is a small cuvée of Grenache and Mourvèdre from 60-year-old vines, aged in vats. It's soft, rich, ripe, blackcurrant-scented, with a smooth texture, full body and plenty of power. Of course, only perfectly ripe fruit was harvested from this vineyard planted on gravelly, alluvial soils. Long, rich and pure, this 2010 should drink well over a decade." (Wine Advocate 2012 - Robert Parker)

About the wine:
Gigondas Les Rocassieres 2010 is a small cuvée of Grenache and Mourvèdre from 60-year-old vines, aged in vats. It's soft, rich, ripe and blackcurrant-scented, with an unctuous texture, full body and plenty of power. Of course, only perfectly ripe fruit was harvested from this vineyard planted on gravelly, alluvial soils. Long, rich and pure, this 2010 should drink well over a decade.

Taste in 2018: imbalance between the wood (tannins) and the wine: a little too much wood
