Chateau Gigault Cuvee Viva 2015 (750 ml)

[91 pts James Suckling] Extremely well done for the vintage with elegance and polish. Full-bodied, refined and reserved. Tannins have tension and brightness. Even more beautiful in 2017 (Feb 2015)

[88 pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate] Another sleeper of the vintage, this beautifully made Cuvee Viva offers up a dense, ruby/purple color and oodles of cassis, kirsch, licorice and spice box in a medium-bodied, concentrated, yet supple style. Drink it over the next 5-6 years. Once again, this reliable estate offers tremendous value and quality (Apr 2015)
