Perrin & Fils, Gigondas Tourelles Vintage:2017 Torbrecks flagship is the 2005Opaque, bright rimmed ruby. Intensely perfumed, mineral accented cherry and dark berry scents are accompanied by suggestions of licorice, candied flowers and exotic spices. Fleshy and broad in the mouth, offering deeply concentrated cherry pastry and blackberry flavors that become more energetic as the wine stretches out. Shows superb energy and mineral lift on an impressively long, subtly tannic finish that leaves behind a suave floral note. Josh
