Note di degustazione
Deep, bright-rimmed ruby. Deeply pitched, smoke- and spice-accented aromas of black raspberry and cherry liqueur, garrigue and incense pick up an energizing mineral nuance with air. Plush and expansive in the mouth, offering impressively concentrated black/blue fruit, licorice and spicecake flavors that show excellent clarity and back-end power. Becomes sweeter as the wine opens up and finishes extremely long, with youthfully chewy tannins and lingering spiciness.

More blackcurrants, black cherries, earth, and leafy, peppery herb aromas emerge from the 2017 Gigondas Les Rancines, which is more closed and backward yet has plenty of depth and concentration. It needs 4-5 years of bottle age.
Despite being riper and more concentrated than the Terrasse du Diable bottling, the 2017 Gigondas Les Racines shares a similarly edgy structure. Potent raspberry fruit is delivered on a full-bodied, richly textured palate that finishes crisp and a bit jagged. Give it a couple of years in the cellar, and it should be fine for drinking over the next 10 years.
Aromas of cassis, garrigue and redcurrants and wild raspberries. Grenache drives the palate in a long, linear and very focused style. Dense, but delicate, with a fresh and juicy, raspberry-pastry finish. The vines are 80+ years old. Striking power and focus. Drink or hold.
