November 18, 2022 - After my last bottle of this, I thought this was over the hill and dead. But no, this bottle is stellar. It hits way above its price point. Good fruit, not fruit forward though. I which it had tasted like this on release.

May 1, 2022 - Sometimes I hold a bottle or two of Guigal CdR back in my cellar, and they never fail to exceed my aging expectations. This has resolved its tannins and taken on a few tertiary notes, but was absolutely lovely… and retained a nice freshness to the mostly red fruit profile. Left a glass in the bottle and revisited a couple of days later, and still pleasant, if starting to get tired.
