The 1999 Gigondas is another classic wine from this estate and offers fully mature notes of cedar, spice box and mature fruit in a medium to full-bodied, supple and integrated package. Classic, mature, ready to go and balanced are the buzz words here, so if you have bottles in the cellar, get busy.

Smooth and delicious for drinking young. Not a blockbuster, but lovely, with a creamy texture, smooth tannins and plenty of plum and blackberry, plus smoke and cigar-box complexity. Stony mineral notes turn up nicely on the chewy finish. Drink now through 2005. 2,550 cases made.??–PM??Region: France / Southern Rh?ne / Gigondas Select to Add
