According to Robert Parker: "The deep ruby-hued 2003 Gigondas Ventabren reveals notes of crushed stones, dried herbs, raspberries, and black cherries. It possesses good spicy, earthy characteristics, fine richness, medium body, and an attractive size. Enjoy this elegant, restrained effort over the next 5-7 years." (12/04) From an earlier Parker review on the property: "Proprietor Jean-Baptiste Meunier owns a small estate of 17.4 acres from which he produces a classic Gigondas... most vintages possess high alcohol levels, so this is not a Gigondas for readers who enjoy wimpy wines. They give every indication of lasting for at least a decade... this estate is capable of making robust, satisfying, artisan wines that deserve more recognition."
