Community Tasting Note

Monday, January 31, 2022 - January Rhônes (Chicago, IL): This almost felt a little thin after the 1992 Fonsalette Syrah, but obviously this isn't a small wine by any stretch of the imagination. A little dusty on the nose at first, but this does blossom into some lovely syrah perfume. None of the modern Guigal oakiness, either the oak treatments were different back then or the wine has somehow absorbed the oak. High in acid, which serves to give this extra freshness. In any case, this was a lithe, elegant version of syrah and certainly one of the better versions of the Guigal La-Las I've had.
