I loved the seductiveness of Brusset’s 2006 Gigondas Tradition. A dense ruby/purple-colored wine with notes of blueberries, raspberries, crushed rocks, and spring flowers, the wine is elegant, medium-bodied, with relatively soft tannins and a good finish. It will be ideal for drinking over the next 7-8 years.
