Bouteille dont l'apogée est dépassée. les notes oxydatives commencent a prendre le pas sur le reste. Bon vin néanmoins mails il lui manque un peu d'éclat pour être au firmament

Showing a few signs of age, this is in a good spot, with rich vanilla fig newton and a flash of gentle oriental spice. Holds its balance precariously but with noble pedigree. Superb.

White wine Guigal Masterclass (Stockholm): Golden yellow colour with a hint of amber, darkest of the four. Nose of ripe yellow fruit, some oxidation notes with a hint of sherry, nutty. On the palate mineral, oily texture, a hint of bitterness, rather low acidity. Surprisingly developed/oxidised for its age (also reflected in the colour), almost defect. I don’t think it would be a good idea to cellar it further. 86 p? A mixture of the contents of two bottles, where one was more oxidised than the other, but both said to be rather similar.

These Rhone whites seem to last forever. This is drinking perfectly now, with fruit and floral aromas, citrus notes, and firm acidity. It paired beautifully with seared ahi and oysters.

Exquisite, full bouquet. Deep and complex on the palate. Terrific wine.
