The tannins are there

pomegranate and elderberries

with radiant wild berry fruit and sweet inner florals

chalky undertow to the well-meshed flavors of Asian pear

its soils consist of decomposed red schist

2023 | Chateau de Saint Cosme Gigondas | Rhone Whitehaven The tannins are therePerfumy and ripe, this red oozes soft black currant and lavender, showing a polished texture. A bitter mineral flash provides contrast, with mesquite, incense and singed garrigue on the lush finish. A spine of iron brings structure and drives the impressive length. Theres a lot to love. Grenache, Mourvdre, Syrah and Cinsault. 93 Pts Wine Spectator
