Tasting Notes

WA97

The inky/purple-tinged, multidimensional 2007 Gigondas Les Souteyrades may be even better. Composed of 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvedre cropped at 25 hectoliters per hectare, from 60-year-old vines, it boasts a blueberry, blackberry, charcoal, licorice, truffle, scorched earth, and spring flower-scented perfume, phenomenal purity, and a long finish. This blockbuster Gigondas possesses extraordinary focus given the freshness and good acids provided by the vintage as well as incredibly well-integrated tannins.

WS92

A ripe, lush style, with the powerful fig, boysenberry and blackberry flavors of the vintage, laced with hints of plum skin and raisin. The long, dense finish has lots of buried anise and tar. Should blossom in the cellar.
