"85% grenache. Red-ruby . . . . Highly nuanced, liqueur-like nose combines roasted red and blue fruits, spices and coffee. Rich, fat and seamless, with near-exotic ripeness. With even more buffering extract, this seems less alcoholic than the Gigondas . . . . Horizontal tannins really spread out over the palate. Philippe Guigal compared this wine in style to the house's 1990." Vinous, Jan 2003 |
