| Rated 95 - Guigal is best known for its legendary Côte-Rôtie and Hermitage, but the 2003 Châteauneuf-du-Pape fully deserves a place alongside its more renowned siblings, with elegant refinement and subtle, soil-driven intensity. Its dark, pungent flavors of black cherry and spiced plum are richly prominent, constantly referring back to a deeply gripping minerality that tethers the complex aromas of fruit, spice, fresh meat and black tea. It feels like a sphere, seamless and harmonious, staining the palate with its long, fragrant length. - Wine Enthusiast |
