Domaine du Cayron Gigondas 1999

Deep red, some rim evolution.

Dried herb/garrigue, charcoal, black fruit underneath. This was opened yesterday, and showed a strong blood/iron (brett) aromatic character which is basically gone. Almost floral now.

Nice creamy entry, particularly for Gigondas, with grainy tannin taking a backseat. Spicy black fruit, with an iron nuance. Herb/garrigue flares up too. Very good middle-palate flesh and flavor follow-through.

Good action.
