Château du Trignon 2012 – Gigondas

The nose is fruity, gourmand, relatively full and offers a slight freshness. It reveals notes of plum cream and crushed boysenberry associated with slight hints of black cherry, liquorice as well as a discreet hint of toasted oak/chocolate hint and a very discreet hint of thyme (after aeration on the glass). The palate is fruity, mineral, tight, fresh, sleek and offers a slight tension, a slight suavity as well as fat. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of plum, crushed blackberry, black cherry and slight notes of chocolate associated with slight hints of zan as well as a discreet hint of clove. Tannins are well-built. Good length. There are slight touches of dark chocolate on the persistence.
