Score 90/100 · Drink 2003-2011, Robert Parker, Feb 2003
This rustic, traditionally-styled Gigondas is normally a blend of 70% Grenache, 15% Syrah, and the rest Cinsault and a touch of Mourvedre. A sexy, Provencal fruit bomb, the 2000 Gigondas exhibits notes of dried Provencal herbs, licorice, kirsch, smoke, and incense. Old hippies take notice. There is good fat and flesh along with low acidity, and a precocious, flamboyant personality. Drink it over the next 7-8 years. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524
