Moving to the 2018s out of barrel, the 2018 Gigondas Classique is a medium-bodied, elegant, and finesse-driven effort that shows the style of the vintage beautifully. Offering notes of kirsch, black cherries, bouquet garni, and assorted spices, I love its purity of fruit as well as its balance. It should end up being an outstanding wine and drink well for 7-8 years or more.
