Our local distributor recently discovered a handful of bottles in their warehouse of the 2013 vintage of their "L'Argnee", a tiny production Gigondas made from 100+ year-old Grenache vines grown in sandy soils. We snagged them all at a special price. Vinous quotes $76. We're thirty-one bucks less!
(2/2016) "Vivid ruby. Powerful aromas of raspberry liqueur, potpourri and smoky minerals, plus a hint of incense. Sweet, seamless and concentrated, offering fresh red berry, lavender and licorice pastille flavors that become more energetic with air. Becomes spicier on the strikingly long, penetrating finish, which features fine-grained tannins and a suave floral nuance. Drinking Window: 2020 - 2026."
