Tasting Note: 2006 Domaine du Cayron Gigondas

Dull ruby color.  Upon opening, reductive aromas of burnt rubber.  Followed by dried cherry, prune, a mineral quality like rain on cement; cigar ashtray filled with dried fruits.  Possibly cooked cabbage.  On the palate, sweet tart acidity, thin body, watery tannins.  A simple, easy chugger, disappointing.
