Score 88/100 · Drink 2001-2011, Robert Parker, Dec 2001

The saturated purple-colored 1999 Gigondas displays a sweet, pure nose of blueberries and cassis, surprisingly tart acidity, a strong underpinning of minerals, ripe tannin, and a medium-bodied, straightforward finish. Although excellent, it is not as impressive as I had hoped it would be. Anticipated maturity: now-2011. Importers: David Hinkle, North Berkeley Imports, Berkeley, CA; tel.

(62% grenache with 35% syrah and 3% mourvedre; aged in a combination of cuve and older barriques Good ruby color. Brooding aromas of blackberry, kirsch, licorice, mint and spices. Large-scaled, concentrated and mouthfilling; very deep, complex flavors of black cherry, mocha, vanilla and milk chocolate. Impressively broad on the palate. Finishes with lush, chewy tannins that coat the entire palate. A great showing today.
