Tasting notes
The dark plum-colored 1998 Gigondas Pierre Anguille reveals a sweet entry on the palate, good flesh, medium to full body, and overall is more typical of what Gigondas represents. It should drink well for 6-7 years. Importer: Frederick Wildman, New York, NY; tel. (212) 355-0700

Jacques Jaboulet feels the 1998 Gigondas (14.5% natural alcohol) is the finest wine he has made from that appellation since 1967. The heady, seductive, fat, fleshy 1998 may be short on complexity, but it touches off all the sensors on the hedonistic circuit. It displays a dark ruby color, plenty of glycerin, and a robust, silky-textured, opulent finish. Drink it over the next 10-12 years, although it may last longer.
