Perrin & Fils, Gigondas Tourelles Vintage:2017 Fresh and pliant

Fresh and pliant

This is firmly structured and very classy – in sum

This is also quite tightly coiled and a wine that will need all of a decade to reach its peak

It’s an excellent wine in a year that keeps on delivering right through the palate and hangs on for more

textural density and general ripeness on display in this wine

Perrin & Fils, Gigondas Tourelles Vintage:2017 Fresh and pliantOpaque, bright rimmed ruby. Intensely perfumed, mineral accented cherry and dark berry scents are accompanied by suggestions of licorice, candied flowers and exotic spices. Fleshy and broad in the mouth, offering deeply concentrated cherry pastry and blackberry flavors that become more energetic as the wine stretches out. Shows superb energy and mineral lift on an impressively long, subtly tannic finish that leaves behind a suave floral note. Josh
