  April 11, 2015 - Deep colour, still fresh and needed time to open. Rich, complex palate with plums, prunes, cherries developing in the glass. Great balance/acidity. Long.
  Grand Union Wine Society Guigal tasting with Brett Crittenden

  January 3, 2015 - Fine wine. Agree with AudunG on characteristics, but a point more positive. A pointe now

  July 29, 2014 - Dark red. Typical Rhône aromas of pepper and forest floor, in addition to liquorice and a touch of oak. Fruity and firm in the mouth with fine tannins. Nice wine.

  May 9, 2014 - Not a very good wine, especially coming from the wizard of Northern Rhône.
  Even if this is a large scale production wine, I do expect more (and usually get more) from his cheaper bottlings too.
  Some earth and herbs on the nose, that was quite uninteresting and muted, even after 3 hours in a decanter.
  Not very expressive or interesting.
  The palate is quite thin & week, decent acidity and some signs of darker Syrah fruit, with a metallic thing on the finish that further ruins the overall impression.
  Not up to Guigal standard.
  I had two bottles that I have saved in the cellar since release.
  The first one opened tonight was corked, but I could find nothing wrong with this bottle, except for the content perhaps.
  Simple truth, this is what it is, and it will not get better.
