Restrained nose at this stage, definitely not as aromatic as in my souvenirs. The wine is obviously at a very early window of drinkability. Even though I really think it needs a good 2 to 3 more years. On the nose, black currant, violet, pepper. On the palate, the wine is deep and layered. Yet tannins are still present and the mouthfeel is rather astringent. While drinking this already great wine, at each sip I couldn’t help wondering how tremendous …

Vertical tasting of 4 Gangloff Barbarine 15-16-17-18, 1 Gangloff Serene 14 and 1 Jamet 2017

2018 vintage

Dégustation verticale de 4 Gangloff Barbarine 15-16-17-18 et 1 Jamet 2017. Nez agréable au départ, bouche plus sévère et plus d’un bloc, encore trop jeune, mon no 5 mais sans doute un beau potentiel.

Poussiéreux, fermé, vraiment pas accessible. Pas du tout un bon moment d’ouverture

Thanks to a Gangloff-loving friend, Chapeau tête russe and I (along with a few friends) were able to taste a magnificent vertical of Gangloff's two Côte Rôtie from 2011 to 2021. If he was always one of the best producers of this wine, by all accounts, since 2018 he has risen to the top three with the legendary Guigal (La-La-La) and Jamet (Côte Brune). Here are the latest results of the best wines only, updated. Barbarine: 2019 98 2018 97 …

Vin à maturité, bonne syrah mais qui ne sort pas spécialement du lot. décevant pour un Gangloff.

A bit closed in the beginning but opens up with time in the decanter. Blueberry pie, olives, gingerbread dough, a bit of incense, just a hint of the meaty, savory tones which will grow with age. Firm tannins, balanced, rich, spicy, peppery. Very good, but will be better with more years in the cellar.

Torsdagsklubben: Fransk boksmat : Blind. Mektig CdR med blåbør og krekling, nesten kjøttaktig i all sin konsentrasjon, fin syre. Til tross for veggen av frukt er det en del finslepne, komplekse toner. Dette kan bli fantastisk om noen ti-år.

Wow, glorious Cotê Rotie from Gangloff. Intense medley of sour cherries, some blueberries, slight white pepper and other herbs. The palate is really intense with refined tannins, purity and power all very balanced. This will be exciting to see to develop over the next decades.

The best Barbarine ever made

2018 vintage

Couleur : robe grenat avec des débuts de reflets tuilés. Nez : intensité aromatique normale (+) à assez ample sur de la myrtille, de la mûre, de la violette, des notes lardées, du graphite et du poivre blanc. Globalement, on a un nez à la fois vibrant et d’une assez bonne concentration aromatique – aromatique se montrant gourmande. Bouche : l’attaque se montre enveloppante, souple et très gourmande sur du fruit bleu et des notes florales de type violette. De …

Medium/full bodied, elegant, fresh and vibrant, with a blast of olive tapenade, perfectly ripe cherries, flowers and black raspberries. This youthful wine is equally satisfying on the nose and palate.

Deep purple. Intriguing aromatics including a whiff of brett and intense violet. Bigger and rounder than either of the Rostaings, very fruity in comparison. Quite tannic yet a smooth feel due to the glycerine and oak. Excellent material, much more modern style but very attractive.

2010 vintage
