2020 Domaine Brusset Gigondas 'Les Secrets de Montmirail'

Saturated violet color. An exotically perfumed bouquet evokes an array of mineral- and spice-accented red and blue fruits, vanilla, incense and potpourri. Deeply concentrated yet distinctly energetic, this wine also offers vibrant black raspberry, cherry-cola and mulberry flavors that are complemented by licorice, candied dates, mocha and black pepper suggestions. The wonderfully long, penetrating finish features youthfully chewy tannins and resonating blue fruit, floral and oak spice notes. Give this substantial wine enough time for the oak elements to get to know the fruit better. Raised 50% in new oak casks and 50% in concrete vats.
