Domaine Palon Gigondas

This wine presents a pretty garnet color, limpid with brilliant reflections. The nose is rich and expressive, with notes of ripe red fruit, cherry, plum, mixed with spices, licorice, pepper, and hints of garrigue. The mouth is very elegant, with fine and coated tannins, a balanced mid-palate, both fresh and oily, and a persistent finish, always on spices, on blackberry jam, with some notes of cocoa.
