2023 Château de Saint Cosme Gigondas 'Le Poste'

95-97+ POINTS: I think the standout in the lineup is the 2023 Gigondas Le Poste, which is all Grenache from a slightly higher elevation site just up the hill from the château. It has gorgeous darker, almost blue fruits as well as spring flowers, violets, pepper, and a beautiful sense of minerality. With medium to full-bodied richness, a pure, seamless mouthfeel, gorgeous tannins, and a great finish, it’s going to offer pleasure right out of the gate yet cruise over the following two decades in cold cellars. Don’t miss it.
