Bastide St Vincent, Gigondas other_regions perfectly ripe and balanced nose

perfectly ripe and balanced nose where ripe stone fruit aromas such as peaches and mirabelles are displayed in the first moments along with some dashes of fresh lime or lemon juice on a lobster fished out of the Atlantic just a short while before

This time I found more finesse and balance in the 2015 Regina Vides than in their top bottling Pesus

This expression shows great power and substance with 20 to 30% new oak

The blend changes with each vintage and in 2010 they had very good Petit Verdot so the percentage of it is higher than ever

Bastide St Vincent, Gigondas other_regions perfectly ripe and balanced noseTasted blind. Transparent garnet. Rich sweetness but this tastes really quite fine very Grenache. Really rather charming with rose petals and sweetness. Not at all unlike a Gredos Garnacha! Just up my street. Great balance and very drinkable. Quite long.
