Wine stimulates our sense of smell and taste but in this case it also created a tidal wave of emotion. Through a tremendous act of generosity a dear friend shared this special bottle when he heard me lament I was not able to secure a bottle of wine to celebrate my mother’s 100 birthday. My friend stood the bottle up for several days. We decided it made sense to PnP. As you can see the cork was intact and the color of the wine defied its age. The excitement to take that first sniff was overwhelming for me. Old but alive scents wowed me. Lots of tobacco, leaves, leather and dried fruit. In the mouth those same scents were transferred to my palate thanks to a tsunami of acid. At about the one hour mark the wine quickly entered a death spiral. I cannot imagine another bottle of wine that will ever conjure up that amount of emotion and happiness. When I described my experience to my mom, a very broad smile came over her face. A blessing to share this experience with my mom and a privilege to taste a wine like this. — 11 days ago

Madeira colored. Dark brooding fruit. Treacle and gamey black cherry. Intense and savory with a slightly sherried note. Amazing given the age. From mag. — a year ago

No matter the scores on such an old wine. It had More depth but also lacking some sort of perfection experienced in other wines of the same age tasted together. Overall a great experience. — 8 months ago

The noise in this is amazing given its age. Dark plum, mocha, some funk, some wild brambly fruit, a hint of acetone. In the palate this is still rich and has some iodine and dark minerality. Unbelievable given its age. What an incredible testament to Unico. Delicious — a year ago

The color of weak coffee with some bottle of the bottom gunk. Va on the nose and light notes of roses and dried fruit. On the palate very pure and lifted. Obviously aged but softening with air and bright and pretty. What a surprise given it’s a centurion. — 3 months ago

I mean, come on. It would deserve 98/100. So the score really does not matter here, at all. It was a beautifully interior experience for whom not often come across such old wines in sharp conditions. Immensely intense and long after taste. So much finesse. Incredibly together and in good shape. — 8 months ago

Very nice Gigondas! Plenty of Grenache gives this wine a nice fruity character. Sip alone or enjoy with a big meal. — 4 years ago
