Guiraud Vintage:2008 flowers and cocoa that ride

flowers and cocoa that ride along perfectly with all its sweet

austere and incredibly persistent finish

acidity and structure are all beautifully integrated and refined

with flavors of apple

Guiraud Vintage:2008 flowers and cocoa that rideThe 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
