2018 Domaine Raspail-Ay Gigondas

JR Score: 16.5

70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre. Aged for 24 months in old oak. Cask sample.
Tasted blind. Confected red fruit with lovely juiciness and fragrance, followed by a palate that is unexpectedly dry and furry. Moderate length, kept appetising by good acidity. (RH)
