  Nose is mostly minerals, petrol, and dried thyme.
  
  Palate is velvet cherry, earth, garden herbs, leather, and slight white pepper. Finish is medium long with good grip and more velvet cherry fruit and earth.
  
  Quite tasty and recommended. Great QPR. No need to hold longer. If I had another bottle I would drink within a year. Drink now -2023

  Cherries, currants, pastille, and not a thing to dislike. Amazingly well made for such a modestly priced, huge production wine, and seemingly in prime form a decade later. What more can you ask for?

  My last bottle and it was a smasher. Almost black in the glass, exploding fruit, leather, spice and a very long, relatively sweet finish. Clearly the best bottle from the whole lot, most character. Some variation detected, some bottles tasted a bit “commercial”.

  Maybe gone past it...although has been cellared well for last 5 years since I purchased. After finish is of strong cocoa, dark chocolate with a long finish. I don’t like it even though I normally love everything by Guigal

  Faktiskt exakt som tidigare notering smaknotsmässigt. Tror fortfarande att den borde få ligga längre. Kanske fem år till.
