September 18, 2018 - Relatively good value for the appellation, but not particularly flavorful or distinctive. Probably waited too long.

May 1, 2013 - The wine is a bit darker than a medium ruby color. The very appealing nose has raspberries, baking spices, cherries, white pepper, dried herbs, fresh wild flowers, smoke, and a touch of earthy underbrush. This has medium body, fairly solid tannins, and good acidity. Spicy fruit hits the palate first, followed by nice dried herbs, pepper, and a touch of scorched earth. The finish has good length and leans more on the savory elements with the fruit providing nice background sweetness. This is drinking very nicely today but can be enjoyed over the next few years.

12/4/2008 (link)(PIAUGIER Gigondas) 2007 Gigondas Dear Friends, I probably shouldn't send this out on the day of my big Riesling announcement but I only have until tomorrow morning so here goes... This will be short and to the point (short for me) - for a Cote du Rhone Prestige price, you get a 2007 Gigondas that is among the finest bargains of the vintage. Without sounding like marketing fluff, this is a potential contender for my Rhone deal of the 2007 harvest - it is so enjoyable that many of you will laugh at the price once you taste it. This harkens back to circa 1990-1995 pricing and the quality is the equal of the top wines of the appellation (with presence to burn). After many years of the old-guard underperforming, this estate really came of age during the 2003-2004 harvest. A new generation is at the helm and they are going places quickly. There is already enough fervor over the vintage in general that I don't really need to go on. I would consider this to be a very low-risk investment from a growing season that turned the potentially mundane into a galaxy of stars. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for crazy price/value in a top vintage: This parcel is directly from the cellars at Piaugier at an eye-popping price for 2007 (about the same as in France): 2007 Domaine du Piaugier Gigondas Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Rhone7222
