The newest cuvee, the 2009 Grand Grenache 66 (16.2% alcohol) is a tiny cuvee bursting with kirsch liqueur, lavender, licorice and spice box. This is a stunning example of Grenache at its best, with wonderful freshness, and for Grenache afficionados, this is one to buy and drink over the next 15 or so years.
The 2009 is provisionally called Gigondas Grand Grenache 66. Another incredible offering, it may be the wine of the vintage in Gigondas. Enormous aromas of kirsch, blackberries, incense and camphor jump from the glass of this inky/purple-colored wine. It exhibits great minerality, enormous concentration, extraction and richness but is neither over the top nor too heavy. This phenomenal Gigondas should age for 20-25+ years.
