Reviewed September 2017Bright ruby-red. Sexy, mineral-tinged red berry and lavender pastille aromas show excellent clarity and pick up a pungent garrigue quality with air. Sappy, penetrating and energetic on the palate, offering sweet black raspberry and cherry flavors that fan out steadily on the back half. The mineral note comes back on the persistent finish, which is famed by silky, fine-grained tannins. (JR)

Wine Advocate
Also seriously impressive, the 2014 Gigondas Terrasses de Diable is another elegant, medium-bodied and impeccably balanced effort from this estate. And while I consider 2014 a difficult vintage for Gigondas, it was interesting to hear Daniel Brunier comment that this was his favorite vintage. Coming from more limestone and clay soils further up in the Dentelles, it offers outstanding notes of black cherries, framboise, garrigue and Asian spice, solid mid-palate depth, fine tannin and a lengthy finish. It too has the class to evolve for a decade. (JD)

A perfumy style, with sandalwood and balsa wood notes forming the frame for a core of lightly steeped plum and red currant fruit. The finish lets black tea details waft through alongside a hint of iron. (JM)
