2007 E. Guigal Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Community Tasting Note
Dale Rattles Does not like this wine:
85 Points
Wednesday, November 26, 2014 - I had been holding off on my review, but I just finished the last of 6 bottles (drank over the past 6 months or so) and feel that I've given this wine every opportunity to show itself, but it just didn't do so. The fruit is so very restrained that I found myself desperately trying to coax it out. Funky "barnyard" nose that never really blows off. I have gone through probably a dozen similarly-priced 2007 CDPs, Gigondas's and Vacqueras's in my cellar and this one's definitely at the bottom of the list. How disappointing given the rave reviews of others!
