I couldn´t make it to the annual Guigal tasting at Wineaffair, but they were ever so kind to let me pick up small bottles of the wines tasted.
Previous wines tasted:
2020 Côte-Rôtie La Mouline, Guigal
A very handsome, layered nose with notes of violet licorice, pancetta, fine tobacco and chrushed rocks. Very deep.
The taste is young, focused yet velvety with notes of blackberries, red beets, spices and boatloads of violets. A finish that goes on and on and on. 8+ years.
97p (tasted 2024/11)
2020 Côte-Rôtie La Turque, Guigal
A tight, iron filled nose with notes of ripe blueberries, bakelite, tiles, dried flowers and sun warm rocks. Beautiful.
The taste is rich and concentrated with taut tannins and notes of violet pastilles, ripe blueberries, asphalt and sweet minerals. Very, very long. 12+ years.
96p (tasted 2024/11)
2020 Côte-Rôtie La Landonne, Guigal
A very deep, restrained nose with stunning notes of fir smoke, chrushed minerals, charcoal, violets and dried meat. World class.
The taste is very young, explosive and multi layered with power, finesse and intensity. Just wait 20+ years...
98p (tasted 2024/11)
