Bright ruby-red.  Raspberry preserves, incense and lavender on the intensely perfumed nose.  Juicy and broad on entry but tighter and more nervy in the mid-palate, offering vibrant red berry and candied cherry flavors along with hints of star anise and floral pastille.  Lush but lively Gigondas with excellent back end-cut and persistence.  Barruol told me that these vines average over 80 years of age.
