2018 Domaine du Terme Gigondas Tradition Rouge

Deep red. Sexy, spice-accented aromas of fresh red fruit and potpourri are sharpened by a smoky mineral element. Palate-caressing, appealingly sweet raspberry and lavender pastille flavors turn deeper with air, complemented by suggestions of star anise and white pepper. Delivers both power and finesse and finishes smooth and long, with sneaky tannins and resonating spiciness. Vinous Media 90-92
