2023 Château de Saint Cosme Gigondas 'Hominis Fides'

For such a hot, dry vintage and such a full-bodied and concentrated wine, this has a gracefulness that is very impressive. The plush tannins are beautifully integrated on the front- and mid-palates, climbing out of the depths in the stunning finish. I love the damson-plum aroma and touch of licorice woven into all of this. From organically grown grapes from vines planted in 1902. Drinkable now but best from 2026.
