Tasting notes
The 2003 Gigondas Vieilles Vignes has a dense ruby/purple color and a beautifully sweet nose of melted licorice, asphalt, black currants, and cherries. The wine has a big, glycerin-imbued, full-throttle palate as well as a persistent finish. This is a big, structured wine with surprisingly high levels of tannin. Give it 2-3 years of cellaring and drink it over the following 12-15 years. Importers: Martin Scott Wines, Little Neck, NY; tel. (516) 327-0808 and Stacole Fine Wines, Boca Raton, FL; tel.
