89 Points | International Wine Cellar , January/February 2009

Deep ruby. Exotic aromas of framboise, pungent herbs and dried flowers expand with air. Fleshy, gently sweet red berry flavors are unencumbered by tannins, picking up a floral pastille note on the back end. I'll bet this very suave wine is drinkable on release. (Incidentally, I found the 2007 Secrets de Pignan Vieilles Vignes to be over the top, with an exotic personality but lacking focus and balance.)
