The string of successes continues with the stunning 2021 Gigondas le Poste, which features layers of spicy complexity-pepper, licorice, allspice-melded into deep plum and black cherry fruit. It's full-bodied and richly concentrated, with supple tannins that give the wine a velvety, almost creamy texture that lingers on the finish. Wow.-Joe Czerwinski, The Wine Advocate. The 2021 Le Poste is a standout wine from Château de Saint Cosme, masterfully marrying power and complexity. It captures Louis Barruol's signature style and the essence of the vintage, marking it as an instant classic and a top contender for wine of the year in Gigondas. The shining star of the 2021 vintage at Château de Saint Cosme is the Gigondas Le Poste. Masterfully combining power and complexity, it neatly captures both the signature style of Louis Barruol and the personality of the 2021 vintage in Gigondas. Pronounced, intense aromas of orange blossom, rose petal, violets, redcurrant, raspberry, red plum, clove and cedar all grace this fragrant elixir. The concentrated palate accentuates the wine's floral lift and offers a true sense of verticality. The 2021 Gigondas Le Poste is an instant classic and a strong contender for the wine of the vintage. -Josh Raynolds, Vinous Media. Densely packed and incredibly complex, with layers of sappy raspberry, dusty earth, black pepper, olive tapenade and singed rosemary. Shows tannins that are chalky-fine in feel, yet muscular enough to support a core of rich fruit, all grounded by cast iron underpinnings. Needs time to unfurl. Best from 2025 through 2040. 24 cases imported.-Kristen Bieler, Wine Spectator. |
