2010 Domaine La Bouissiere Gigondas

deep red, dark core; expansive bouquet, laced with floral airs, has a joli harmony. Black pepper and salty notes in the background. Orderly attack - again, the word harmony springs to mind. Has fine grain tannin, a relative delicacy in its expression. Upright, cooler climate style of wine. Needs time to fuse and round, but the shape is there. Good crisp fruit in this. A serious, made to age and evolve wine. Typical, tasty finish, too, tangy and clear. From 2014. Will amplify over time, has retreated in its early moments after bottling. 4.5 stars
