"This has a lovely sanguine streak running through its damson plum, loganberry and crushed cherry fruit, all backed by iron and anise notes on the ripe finish." - Wine Spectator "The broad, savory, dark ruby/plum-hued 2009 Gigondas offers plenty of sweet black cherries intermixed with hints of scorched earth, bouquet garni, and forest floor. With excellent texture, impressive depth, purity and length, and silky tannins, it can be enjoyed over the next 5-7 years." - Parker
