Note di degustazione
Tasted as part of a vertical held at the chateau. The Guiraud 1997 is clearly a step up from the previous two vintages: bursting forth with delectable wild honey and marmalade aromas that mingle with vanilla pod and peach skin. It has retained good vigor and remains vital – much more so than the 1996. The palate is well-balanced and fresh on the entry with crisp acidity cutting through the Seville orange marmalade and quince fruit. There is good weight on the finish and though there is not the complexity of later vintages, it continues to drink well. Drink now-2025. Tasted April 2013.

Wonderfully rich, decadent nose reminiscent of fermented pineapple. A wine you'd either love or loathe. (I love it.) It's a dangerous wine which almost topples over the edge into too much volatility. It could do with more acidity to make it perfect but is certainly dramatic. (JR)
