A rockin’, old school styled Gigondas that’s loaded with notions of saddle leather, garrigue, cedar and sweet red currants and kirsch, the 2006 Gigondas Tour Sarrasine is medium-bodied, fully mature and elegant. Made from 70% Grenache and the balance an even split of Syrah and Mourvèdre, aged 20 months in concrete, this puppy is overflowing with character (it’s a touch gamy, so don’t say I didn’t warn you), and is one of those wines that simply screams southern Rh?ne. Enjoy it anytime over the coming 5-6 years.
