"What will compete with the top wines in the vintage, Perrin's 2014 Gigondas l'Argnee Vieilles Vignes comes mostly from sandy soils and pre-phylloxera vines; the only downside is that's there's a scant 100 cases made. Offering thrilling notes of ground pepper, crushed flowers, violets and spice, with a core of kirsch and raspberry fruit, this beauty is medium to full-bodied, impeccably balanced and has building, yet ultra-fine tannin that emerge on the finish. It's a vintage-defying effort that might be difficult to find, but will be well worth the effort!"

"Brilliant ruby. High-pitched red and dark berry aromas are complemented by suggestions of candied licorice and floral pastilles. Sappy and expansive on the palate, offering appealingly sweet black raspberry and cherry liqueur flavors and hints of smoky minerals and lavender. Shows impressive clarity and thrust on the incisive finish, which features slow-building tannins and lingering floral and spicecake notes."
