Nez aux arômes de fruits noirs, confits, léger fumé et cuir.
La bouche est fraîche, digeste, un peu courte mais cette bouteille procure beaucoup de plaisir.
C’est un millésime à boire, 2014 faut-il le rappeler est un millésime frais, plutôt pluvieux, ce qui lui vaut d’être classé dans les millésimes dits « digestes ».
A boire donc.
92. The 2014 Gigondas les Racines is truly gorgeous, and a serious wine in a difficult vintage for the appellation. From yields of 25 hectoliters per hectare, it has beautiful notes of black cherries, blackberries, hints of pepper and bouquet garni in a medium-bodied, ultra-fine, ultra-pure style. It’s a hidden little gem that will keep for a decade.
(90-92) : Bright ruby. Spicy and energetic on the nose, displaying intense red and dark berry scents and suggestions of candied flowers and garrigue. Spicy, tightly focused raspberry and bitter cherry flavors deepen and spread out slowly, picking up a subtle licorice nuance. Shows very good energy and mineral-driven thrust on the clinging finish, which is framed by dusty, harmonious tannins.
