Millésime 2007

Wine Advocate #191 - Oct 2010

Score : (92-94)

The best Gigondas from Guigal that I have ever tasted will certainly be the 2007, which is still aging in tank and large wood vats. His general blend here is about 55-60% Grenache, around one-third Mourvedre and the rest Syrah. This remarkable Gigondas is scheduled to be bottled within the next several months. Dense plum/purple, with notes of garrigue, crushed rock, blueberry, and black raspberries, the wine is full-bodied, with stunning purity, a multi-layered texture, and a long finish. It should drink nicely for 10-15+ years. Drink: 2010 - 2025. Robert Parker.

Perfumed, with nicely integrated grip that focuses the lovely mulled plum, black currant, licorice snap and black tea notes. The long, silky finish features a lingering hint of iron. Drink now through 2014. 9,000 cases made. James Molesworth.

Ruby-red. Musky, complex aromas of raspberry preserves, smoked meat, rose oil and smoky herbs. Dense and fleshy, offering fully ripe red fruit flavors and an exotic note of candied flowers. Quite dense in the style of the vintage, with ripe red fruits clinging on the finish. Josh Raynolds.

Fruits noir, cuir et épices fortes (girofle), grande générosité en bouche, avec une finale sur le tabac, et surtout une grande fraîcheur qui souligne des tanins bien droits. Splendide !
