Score 87-89/100 · Drink 2009, Robert Parker, Oct 1999
The dark ruby/purple-colored 1998 Gigondas is a very good, spicy, elegant, restrained offering with abundant berry fruit intermixed with soil and spicy wood scents. Medium-bodied, beautifully concentrated, ripe, and well-balanced, it should drink well for a decade.
