Guiraud Vintage:2008 I wish there were more

I wish there were more wineries setting their sights on this level of quality

particularly anise that complement to perfection the sleek

It is intense but not overpowering

Satin-like in texture

Guiraud Vintage:2008 I wish there were moreThe 2010 Guiraud is a little closed on the nose like the 2010 Climens and demands a lot of coaxing from the glass. Eventually it reveals scents of dried honey, fig and ginger but they feel muted at the moment. The palate is much better and more expressive with tangy marmalade and quince notes, good depth and fine tension. It is just a case of waiting for the nose to open because the palate really shows the potential here. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners
