Saint-Cosme Gigondas Hominis Fides 2014

Wineadvocate

Offering more sandy, loamy and dried earth characteristics intermixed with lots of dried cherries, black raspberries and smoked herbs, the 2014 Gigondas Hominis Fides has a Burgundy-like feel on the palate with medium-bodied richness, fine, elegant tannin, moderate concentration and a great finish. It has higher acidity than the other two single vineyards, is pretty and relatively forward, yet certainly has the balance and purity to evolve nicely for a decade.

Vinous

(raised in one-third new oak barriques) Deep ruby. Oak-inflected cherry and blackberry on the deeply perfumed, smoke-tinged nose. Broad and chewy on the palate, offering gently sweet dark fruit, vanilla and licorice flavors and a suave touch of candied flowers. Dusty tannins add grip to the youthfully tannic finish, which lingers with strong persistence. Drink: 2021-2027.
