GIGONDAS -Louis Bernard - red 2012 -   91-93/100

"Bright purple.  Heady black and blue fruit aromas are complicated by vanilla and cola accents.  Fleshy cassis and blueberry flavors are sharpened by tangy acidity, which also adds mid-palate lift.  Gains sweetness and depth with air, finishing with a subtle note of bitter chocolate, slow-building, harmonious tannins and impressive persistence.
