Tasting - L'Hallali Gigondas Grande Reserve


Name: L'Hallali Gigondas Grande Reserve
Variety: Blended
Region: Gigondas
Country: France
Year: 2012
Price: $22.95

Winery review: Decanted, tasted double blind. Not a very dark red, distinctly violet. A fairly restrained nose of blackberries that got a bit more expressive with air, a bit of vanilla, bit not much tannins. Put with food and watch what happens. Quite nice.

My review: This wine had a very peppery taste to it. This taste overshadowed everything else for me. It was just okay in my opinion but I would like to try it again with food and see how it compliments it. 

I tasted this on its own with no food.
