1/22/21, 12:52 PM - Well, the note is all positive in relation to the low price (in Sweden it costs about $15). But it's not as good as say Domaine du Vieux Lazaret Châteauneuf-du-Pape or even Château Courac Côtes du Rhône Villages Laudun.

80 is supposed to mean "solid, well-made wine", which is more than I would say about any supermarket wine. However, I'm new to the 50-100 point rating system so it's quite possible that I haven't fully got to understand it yet and that I have to work on my ratings. :)

But now I have read up on the 100 point system and I have subsequently revised my rating to 90 (I also realised that the Guigal I drank was a 2016, which I also corrected). Thanks for your input. :)
