Drinking superbly well already, this is a full, rich, modern Gigondas (not so much rusticity), which oozes black cherry liqueur wrapped in velvety tannins. Good length. This will be even better after several years.

"Made in a modern style without sacrificing its Provencal personality, it offers toasty pain grille, espresso, chocolate, heady, ripe, black cherry and blackberry fruit, garrigue and liquorice notes. Older vintages have proved that these wines tend to age well and this 2007 should last for 10-12 years" 90-92/100 (Parker)
