Tasting notes
Dark magenta. Suave, mineral-and spice-tinged black raspberry, cherry-cola and potpourri aromas pick up hints of fresh bay and rosemary with air. Juicy, focused and energetic on the palate, the intense red and blue fruit, lavender and exotic spice flavors deepen steadily through the back half. The floral note resonates emphatically on an extremely long, spice-tinged finish given shape by polished, even tannins.

Looking at the old vine cuvée, the 2019 Gigondas L’Argnée 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+.
