2012 TELEGRAMME
Deep red. Vibrant red berry, lavender and mineralaromas, with a subtle garrigue quality building in the glass. Bright, racy and pure, offering freshraspberry and bitter cherry flavors that put on weight with air. Sweeter and fuller on the finish,which features soft tannins and a late kick of white pepper. Distinctly elegant Chateauneuf with noexcess weight; in fact, there\’s something pinot-like going on here. 91-93
2012 & 2011 VIEUX TELEGRAPHE ROUGE
2012 Vieux Télégraphe Rouge
Bright ruby. Intense raspberry and cherry aromas arecomplicated by hints of lavender, spicecake and blood orange. Juicy and fruit-driven, with palatecoatingflavors of sweet, spice-tinged red fruits and candied flowers. Quite suave and seamless,boasting striking purity to its red fruit- and mineral-driven finish. Those who decry the ripeness andheady character of most Chateauneufs owe it to themselves to try this wine. 92-94
2011 Vieux Télégraphe Rouge
Bright ruby-red. Black raspberry, cherry compote, potpourri and Asian spices on the highly perfumednose. Juicy red and dark berry flavors stain the palate, showing terrific clarity and spicy lift. Thespicy quality comes back strong on the finish, which is framed by silky, harmonious tannins. In agraceful, almost weightless style, with zero excess fat but noteworthy flavor intensity. Iunderestimated this wine last year. 93

2011 Les Racines
Brilliant ruby. Lively red fruit and floral scents are complicatedby suggestions of smoky minerals and potpourri. Spicy, penetrating and pure, offering gently sweetraspberry and lavender pastille flavors and a subtle touch of blood orange. Closes smooth and long,with a whisper of tannins and strong mineral cut. This wine is a poster child for the blend of powerand elegance that marks a great Gigondas. 92
2011 Terrasse Du Diable
Vivid ruby. Heady scents of candied cherry, raspberrypreserves, anise and potpourri. Shows a darker profile in the mouth, offering palate-stainingblackberry and bitter cherry flavors and a strong floral quality. Picks up smokiness with air andfinishes with superb focus and length and youthful tannic grip. No question that this is one of thebest wines I tasted from Gigondas this year. 93
