Tasting note
Famille Gassier's 2010 Halos de Jupiter should present Grenache's ripe raspberry and black cherry alongside dried thyme and a trace of pepper. The Côtes du Rhône character suggests a broad, rounded palate, with soft tannins and mild acidity giving the fruit a gentle frame. Its stated drinking span ended in 2021, so the bottle is now beyond that range and its condition will shape the experience. If the fruit remains, expect a quiet close of dried berry, savory herbs and warm spice.
