The 2005 Gigondas Les Hauts de Montmirail exhibits a dense, saturated ruby/purple color, some very noticeable hints of toasty oak intermixed with crushed rocks, blue and black fruits, graphite, and earth. It is more austere and leaner than its 2006 counterpart, but should unfold nicely over the next several years and last for a dozen or more years. Importers: Importers: Riservati, Seattle, WA; tel.
