Château de Montmirail Gigondas Cuvée Saint Maurice

Drinking beautifully right now. Dark stone fruit and blackberry aroma, garrigue and well integrated tannins.

Cooked black cherries and blueberry reduction on the nose. Med-full bodied, this is round and mouth-filling with good acid and still some tannin left. This is fine, but I think it was much better years ago, so drink now. 89

pleasant nose and abundant fruit

Always a reliable cuvée though not as great as the 2010. Great at $20 price point but I see now that these are going for closer to $30 which seems steep.

MDRUCKE1's tasting review is accurate. There is heavy sediment, and the tannins are a bit disjointed, but this delivers beautifully on the bouquet and palate. Drinking well now with a double decant, but still has plenty of time to lie down. Will buy more.

A little tight day 1 but opened day 2.

89+ Better than I remembered the last bottle to be.

I am a big fan of this cuvée, having purchased four bottles of the 2010 from WTSO and enjoying several of them immensely. The 2012 shows the same flavor profile overall, and appears to have the same depth, though it is a bit young yet and I think it needs some time for all the bits to fall into place. I have another three bottles and would cellar them for a couple of years before opening another. However, this is …

This bottle was more consistent and enjoyable from the pop-n-pour to day 2. A little bit better day 2, but a solid 90+.

A little disjointed day 1 but came together day 2 to be what was expected.

Nice nose with dark fruit, a hint of pepper/spice, and minerality. Took some time in glass to open up. Dark coloration. Good strong attack, with medium mouthfeel and a solid finish. Showed well now if a bit young. Look forward to tasting this again in 3-5.
