Chateau de Saint Cosme Gigondas Le Poste Rhone, France 2022
My favorite of the trio (but that's splitting hairs), the 2022 Gigondas La Poste is similarly full-bodied and concentrated, yet I love its purity and balance. Ripe red and black fruit, violets, spring flowers, and foresty, garrigue nuances all shine in this beautifully polished, layered, elegant Gigondas that has flawless balance. It shows the riper style of the vintage yet stays light on its feet and incredibly pure. Don't miss it.

To me, le Poste always includes a nuance akin to salted licorice, and that's certainly the case with the 2022 Gigondas le Poste. It infuses the blackberry fruit with a salty, savory complexity unmatched by the other Saint-Cosme wines, while still being full-bodied, richly concentrated and velvety-textured, with a stunning, nearly endless finish. Have I underestimated it from barrel?
