Xmas Giggie

1994 Dom. Santa Duc Gigondas - had to have something with 'Santa' in the name for Christmas eve dinner! The colour was lighter than expected, but the nose was big, a bit warm, and bright cherry. In the mouth this wine blossoms - it is bursting with flavour, has excellent fruit, soft tannin that actually became a bit more prominent with a half hour of airing, and good length. Great drinking now, but certainly no rush.
