2004 Domaine Raspail-Ay Gigondas

($32) Dark red. Flamboyant red berry and floral nose accented by a strong garrigue character. Pure red fruit flavors expand through a long, sweet finish, with gentle, dusty tannins giving the wine shape and grip. With air, this displayed a fascinating array of fruit, mineral and floral tones.
