James Suckling: 95 Points
"Deep nose of damson plum and ripest blackberry with subtle savory, soy-sauce and wild-herb notes. Very powerful and expansive palate with a major tannin structure that gives this a lot of drive and energy. Long, concentrated finish with impressive freshness for this appellation."
Vinous: 94 Points
"Dark garnet color. Smoke- and spiced-tinged dark fruit, floral and garrigue aromas pick up a peppery element with air. Offers deep blackberry, kirsch, candied lavender, baking spice flavors and a touch of licorice. Finishes impressively long and spicy, with chewy tannins coming in late. This is still quite youthful and deserves some patience, or at the very least, decanting."

"Looking at the 2020s here, these were both just bottled before this tasting. The 2020 Gigondas Les Terrasses Du Diable is the most mineral-laced of the duo and has impressive darker cherry and blackberry fruits as well as ample peppery garrigue nuances. Coming from higher elevation limestone soils, fermented with 35% stems, and aged in tank, this medium to full-bodied, elegant, vibrant 2020 is perfect for drinking any time over the coming 10-12 years."
