Guiraud Vintage:2017 I gave it a couple

I gave it a couple of extra days open to be sure just how lovely it was

thick and dense

My last bottle from the case

fresh and even cool yet ripe liqueur-like red and black currant aromas that are liberally sprinkled with sauvage

from selected plots (including 6% Cabernet Sauvignon) within Vega Sicilia’s estate

Guiraud Vintage:2017 I gave it a coupleThe 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
