Jeb Dunnuck om: Domaine du Clos des Tourelles

In the same ballpark, the 2018 Gigondas Clos Des Tourelles is more powerful and concentrated than the Vieilles Vignes cuvée and offers a massive bouquet of black and blue fruits, violets, orange zest, and ground pepper. With remarkable complexity, full body, building tannins, and no shortage of length on the finish, it’s one of the few 2018s that’s going to benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age. 94-96+/100

Galloni om: Domaine du Clos des Tourelles

Deep lurid violet. Powerful, spice- and mineral-accented blue fruits, exotic spices and a hint of garrigue on the expressive nose. Juicy and energetic on the palate, offering intense cherry, boysenberry and floral pastille flavors that put on weight with air while maintaining urgency. Shows superb delineation and mineral cut on a strikingly long, precise finish that leaves a suave candied floral note behind. 94-96/100

Parker om: Domaine du Clos des Tourelles

With the Grenache yields down by one-fourth this year, the 2018 Gigondas Clos des Tourelles is only 65% Grenache, with the balance a blend of Mourvèdre and Syrah. Aged in concrete and foudre, it offers up hints of leather and cherries on the nose. It's full-bodied, more robust and sturdier than the L'Argnée yet almost as silky and elegant on the extended finish. 93-95/100
