Domaine Santa Duc – Clos Derrière Vieille 2014 – Gigondas

The nose is fruity, quite elegant, silky and offers a slight powerful. It reveals notes of crushed blackberry and slight notes of cassis jam associated with hints of graphite, crushed cherry as well as a discreet hint of spices and an imperceptible hint of white pepper. The palate is fruity, fine, sleek, mineral, silky, well-balanced, slightly gourmand and offers a beautiful finesse, tension, an acid frame as well as suavity. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of Bigarreau cherry and slight notes of raspberry, cassis associated and a very discreet hint of plum, roasted oak as well as a discreet hint of sweet spices. Tannins are fine, structuring and slightly firm. Good length and persistence.
