Tasting notes
This is really something. I have never tasted a Guiraud like this. This is full-bodied yet so fresh and incredibly crisp and lively. Spicy and energetic. Fantastic acidity! Mar 2016, www.JamesSuckling.com

Very expressive, with nectarine, mirabelle plum, green plum and white peach notes melding well, backed by a pronounced honeysuckle edge. Shows excellent range, with power in reserve. Mar 2016, James Molesworth, www.WineSpectator.com
This was still on the youthful side when I tasted it (unsurprising, given its age) and showing a lot of oak. But there’s no denying that the wine has the power and fruit concentration to soak it up. Rich and intense, this needs time to come together in barrel and bottle. Apr 2016, www.timatkin.com, Drink: 2019-2030
Intense honeyed aromas and flavours of quince, gooseberry jelly and aromatic oak; very inviting. Slightly austere palate with a tactile quality to the fresh, spicy orchard fruit flavors. A potentially great Guiraud but I wonder about its deep, almost too evolved colour. Apr 2016, Ian D'Agata, www.Decanter.com, Drink: 2020-2030
