As to the 2022 Gigondas from barrel, these are all beautiful wines. The 2022 Gigondas has terrific ripeness as well as a sexy, velvety, medium to full-bodied style. Classic Gigondas spice, cedary herbs, pepper, and red and black fruit define the aromatics, and it's concentrated and balanced. Barrel Sample: 92-94
