Note di degustazione
Smoking good, the 2007 Domaine les Pallières Gigondas Les Racines is loaded with ripe dark fruits, roasted herb, licorice, and meat juices. On the palate, the wine is medium to full bodied with a gorgeous texture, solid balance and a finish that showcases ripe, chewy tannin. Powerful and yet holding things together beautifully, this should easily drink well for 12 to 15 years.

Ruby-red. Ripe dark berries and kirsch on the nose, with complicating notes of licorice and black tea. Rich, deep and powerful, with a distinctly ripe character to the dark fruit flavors. Fresher on the finish, which features chewy tannins and leaves smoke and licorice notes behind. This is a bit inscrutable today, hiding more than it's showing.
Even better is the 2007 Gigondas Les Racines Vieilles Vignes. Its dense ruby/purple hue is accompanied by an extraordinary bouquet of black raspberries, kirsch, licorice, crushed rocks, and flowers. Full-bodied with sensational texture, purity, and length as well as remarkable elegance and freshness, this stunning Gigondas can be enjoyed over the next 15-20 years. Bravo! Partners Daniel Brunier and Kermit Lynch impeccably run this estate. I should also give a nod to Kermit Lynch’s latest musical endeavor, his brilliant CD called Man’s Temptation, which I highly recommend (particularly the song Gare de Lyon). Les Pallieres’ 2008s are two of the finest Gigondas I tasted in what is a very mediocre vintage for that appellation. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524
