Score 89/100 · Drink 2000-2010, Robert Parker, Oct 2000

The Chateau St.-Cosme 1998 Gigondas (60% aged in tank and 40% in used barrels) offers a sweet cherry and blackberry-scented nose with notions of smoke and minerals. Fat, chewy, medium to full-bodied, and delicious, it can be enjoyed over the next decade. If readers have not yet discovered this estate, the wines from St.-Cosme are sure things, particularly in such promising vintages as 1998 and 1999.
