Note di degustazione
(80% grenache, with syrah, mourvedre and cinsault): Dark purple. A smoky, complex bouquet evokes dark fruit preserves, floral oils, licorice and peppery spices. Lush and expansive, offering deep blackberry and bitter cherry flavors and a smooth, seamless texture. Closes with gentle tannic grip, very good persistence and lingering dark fruit notes.

The most provocative wine, and to my palate, the most complex, is the 2009 Gigondas Vieilles Vignes. With notes of bay leaf, crushed rock, blueberry, raspberry, and spring flowers, the wine has terrific stuffing and full-bodied richness. It is a heck of a Gigondas that should drink nicely for 10-15 years. (Not yet released) Importer: Wilson-Daniels, St. Helena, CA; tel. (707) 963-9661
Real lift to the nose. Really quite transparent and with softer tannins on the front palate than the Vacqueyras but they cut in a little bit to that alluring palate eventually. Not a heavy wine. Tastes less alcoholic than most of Tardieu Laurent’s 2009 southern Rhônes! Rather gentle and flattering. Great delicacy, oddly enough. Very distinctive and a real success provided you don’t seek a blockbuster. Only the dry finish suggests it’s worth waiting a little while before drinking this. (JR)
