The impressive, black/purple-colored 1997 Gigondas Cuvee Prestige La Font de Tonin exhibits toasty new oak, gobs of cassis, blackberry fruit, and powerful, concentrated, medium to full-bodied flavors. Its low acidity and plump, forward style suggest it should be drunk during its first 8-10 years of life. Hopefully, it will be bottled without excessive fining and filtration. No known American importer.
