Pierre Gaillard Saint-Joseph Clos de Cuminaille 2016 (3x150cl)
Inky ruby. Mineral-accented aromas of black raspberry, cherry compote, olive and peony, along with a baking spice nuance and a hint of vanilla. At once rich and lively in style, offering juicy black and blue fruit flavors and hints of floral pastilles, salty olive and five-spice powder. Picks up a smoky accent with air and finishes spicy and impressively long, with a nervy mineral quality and fine-grained tannins adding final grip. 30% new oak.
