Wine Advocate-Parker :
One of the superstars of the appellation, the 2012 Gigondas l'Argnee Vieilles Vignes is blockbuster material. Still in barrel and showing even better than last year, it boasts off-the-hook notes of kirsch, blackberry, dried soil and flowers to go with awesome depth and richness on the palate. Coming from sandy soils and pre-phylloxera Grenache vines, it has thrilling purity, ultra-fine tannin, a big mid-palate and terrific length. It's a prodigious Gigondas that will have two decades of longevity.
