Santa Duc, Gigondas Hautes Garrigues Vintage:2005 Rich and opulent for Petrus

Rich and opulent for Petrus (maybe the most opulent that Jean-Claude Berrouet ever made) and yet it retains a sense of symmetry and freshness on the finish that I think is unique to this Pomerol

Santa Duc, Gigondas Hautes Garrigues Vintage:2005 Rich and opulent for PetrusA gem in the vintage, the 2004 Gigondas Prestige des Hautes Garrigues offers mature notes of kirsch, black cherries, saddle leather, basil and spice in a rich, full bodied, slightly austere, serious and structured package. You can recognize the Mourvedre driven structure and tannic spine on the palate, and this full bodied beauty has more depth and concentration than most in the vintage. It will keep for another decade or more.
