Very intense and powerful. An instant expression of this great terroir. At rst black fruits, then notes of soft spices, vanilla, milk chocolate, and spices on a balsamic base. Remarkable scale, harmoniously marrying the aromatic power, sweetness, silky tannins and the remarkable freshness; all concluded by a magni cent length on black licorice fruits. A blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. Oratorio Gigondas is best accompanied by hearty dishes such as beef tenderloin, tru es, tournedos Rossini, or wild boar stew.
