critic reviews
89+/100Stephen Tanzer,Vinous
Deep ruby-red; darker than Guigal's '95 Hermitage. Superripe, sappy aromas of spicy raspberry, violet, pepper and smoky oak. Starting to shut down in the bottle, but still reveals a supple texture, very good depth of flavor and sound firming acidity. Comes across as rather tannic today. This is a much rounder wine than it's showing today, says Marcel Guigal's son, Philippe.
