Pure perfection, the 2010 Gigondas Hominis Fides (200 cases produced) boasts over-the-top richness, an extraordinary, room-filling bouquet of red, black and blue fruits intermixed with charcoal, subtle new oak, forest floor and spice box. With fabulous richness, a massive mouthfeel and a delicacy and subtlety that belie its heft, weight, richness, precision and delineated character, this remarkable Gigondas may be the finest wine I have ever tasted from this appellation. Give it 2-3 years of cellaring and drink it over the following two decades.
Dense and packed, with bittersweet chocolate and espresso notes leading the way for a huge core of blueberry, blackberry and black currant fruit, all melded together and pumping through the graphite-filled finish. The fruit is almost ostentatious now, but the grip is there, buried on the finish, and this will easily cruise in the cellar.
