Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
With the purchase of this estate in 2006, Marcel Guigal added another jewel to his richly decorated crown. Aged for 24 months in demi-muid (600 litre) barrels, this cuvée, which has a touch of Viognier, nearly received our highest Coup de Coeur rating. The oak ageing has given it pretty vanilla notes, while the spice and smoke elements commingle with red berry notes. The palate shows a lot of density and structure, but also a beautiful silkiness, with pleasant licorice accents into the finish. This superb wine will require patience to fully develop in complexity. Score: 2 (out of 3) Source: Guide Hachette
