Cropped at a minuscule 15hL/Ha, the 2021 Gigondas Terrasse du Diable has the edge over the Racines. Vivid rosewater, strawberry, black cherry, black plum and spice box scents rise up from the glass. A splash of menthol adds further complexity. Layered and refined, this medium to full-bodied red offers good concentration, along with ripe tannins and a distinctively juicy finish.

This offers some nice substance, locked up behind subtly firm tannins that are beginning to unfurl. Smoked oolong tea and cured meat flavors give this a savory edge, with notes of graphite shavings dusting plum skin and stewed cherry. Grenache, Mourvèdre and Clairette. Best from 2025 through 2030.

The 2021 Gigondas Terrasse Du Diable is another limestone bomb with it's pretty black raspberries, white truffle, chalky, and white flower-like aromas and flavor. Medium-bodied, elegant, and silky on the palate, it has fine tannins, wonderful balance, and outstanding length. Drink bottles over the coming decade.
