Congrats Philippe Gimel for this beautiful L'Argile 2010!
One of the best L'Argile we had!
Much Kirsch and dark berries in the nose, some licorice, chocolate, forest floor and floral aromas like lavender and as Jeb said dried flowers.

Ample aroma, deep and acidic nose, comfortable stimulation. Violet, strawberry, cranberry. A bit acidic and sour. Herb, forest like leaves and woods. 2018 @1470, Kping-, 211020211030 — 4 years ago

9.6

Deep, dark reddish tawny center, showing very little age in the rims. Classic, older Bordeaux nose. Notes of cedar, tobacco and cut cigar, red fruits, wet forest floor, old saddle leather, some cassis and some crushed walnuts. Complex and took its time to unwind. Decanted for 8 hours before taking to dinner, and then consumed over 3+ hours. Still present acidity. This comes across as a young Bordeaux, with the quality of the juice very evident. It didn't blow our socks off tonight, but the quality and pedigree of this is easily identifiable. — 4 years ago

Brought this one back from a recent pilgrimage to burgundy. Ripe red fruit, light white pepper, and a brilliant forest floor earthiness. Somehow more complex and more accessible than any i find back home in this price range — 10 years ago

9.1

Intriguing, beguiling red, ruby barely opaque w/evolving nose of blackberry and plum Gummy Bear, a lift (maybe Alpine?) but def hi-toned note, herby Ricola, devious spice, medicinal & forest floor, floral. Needs food, played well w/duck breast. Med weight & med acidity. As @Lyle Fass mentioned: Gamay-esque, also reminded me of Lagrein. Killed this bottle in no time. Unique & esoteric variety, thanks Lyle — 4 years ago

The grandparent grape of Carmenere. Juicy red fruits, a hint of cassis and blueberries. Rustic, quite a bit of VA, wild herbs and dusty forest floor. Green pepper Jalapeño and smoke on the palate. Good structure. Light body. — 7 years ago
