Description
TASTING NOTE: Vivid purple. Wild, explosive aromas of black raspberry, cola, minerals and candied flowers. Supple, focused and sappy, with brisk minerality lifting the lush dark berry, kirsch and lavender pastille flavors. This dense, penetrating, strikingly pure wine offers terrific clarity and finishing energy. According to Marc Perrin, these vines were planted in the 1870s and 1880s and survived phylloxera. Score: 91-93 (Josh Raynolds, International Wine Cellar, Jan. 2011)

Tasting Notes
Looking at the old vine cuv�e, the 2019 Gigondas L'Argn�e Vieilles Vignes comes from 100+-year-old vines and more sandy soils. It's a bigger, more full-bodied, structured, yet still seamless and textured Gigondas offering gorgeous candied cherry and blueberry fruits as well as loads of garrigue, ground pepper, and violet aromatics. With terrific tannins, flawless balance, and a great finish, give bottles 2-3 years, count yourself lucky, and enjoy over the following 15+. Maturity: 2023-2040. Score - 96+.
