Very good. Clear, pale, gold with legs. Clean, medium intensity fully developed nose of peach, lemon, yogurt and almonds. Dry, medium (+) acid, medium (+) alcohol (13.5%), medium (+) body, medium flavour intensity with lemon, peach, almonds, cream and an oily texture. Very good, quite complex, perhaps over the hill and ruining what would have been an outstanding bottle 2-3 years ago. Drink now, certainly not suitable for further aging and may already just be a bit too old. Cork.

I love the honeyed florals of Guigal CdR blanc. Good and qpr every year. Honeysuckle and waxed tropical fruits in the mouth. God texture, medium acidity and easy on the mouth despite standard heavy alcohol on the Blanc CdR. No heat on the finish. Very enjoyable as per usual.

The more I think about it, the more I kick myself in the pants for not getting more of this for $5. Decent fruit with surprising acidity, this rally did well with my fish tacos. Alas, this is the last bottle, but it was likely time for it to go. I doubt this gets any better, but it was Very (very) Good. thedrunkencyclist.com
