2023 WINE SPECTATOR TOP 100 #93
Vinous: 96 Points
Deep, brilliant ruby. Intensely fragrant suggestions of ripe red berries, kirsch, exotic spices and candied flowers are accompanied by a vibrant mineral nuance that builds steadily with air.
Smooth and seamless in texture, the intense raspberry, cherry-cola, spicecake and lavender flavors convey a deft blend of power and delicacy. Closes smooth, gently tannic and impressively long, leaving sappy red fruit and mineral notes behind. 94-96
James Suckling: 94 Points
Aromas of blackberries, dark cherries, dried herbs such as thyme and rosemary, dark chocolate and baking spices. Full body with very fine tannins. Great balance with a velvety texture loaded with cherries and berries, and a harmonious, integrated structure. Textured, long and focused finish. Best after 2027.
Jeb Dunnuck: 94 Points
A step up over the 2021, the 2020 Gigondas Le Pas De L'Aigle is another pretty, elegant wine with tons of character. Darker raspberries, savory Provençal herbs, sandalwood, and subtle peppery notes all emerge on the nose, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a layered, seamless mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It's another wine that can be drunk any time over the coming decade or more.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
A wine with a lot of soul and character, this leans slightly modern, with charred apple wood and sweet cedar nicely polishing a core of fig puree and black cherry. The long, harmonious finish glides through, revealing rooibos tea and smoked garrigue details, while a tug of tannins provide a ballast. Grenache and Syrah. Drink now through 2035.
