E. Guigal
Saint-Joseph Syrah
Beautiful. Juicy, complex, classic northern Rhone with a slightly modern style.

Jan 28th, 2021E Guigal produces fine Rhône wines. Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruit and earthy spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry and blackberry fruit, cacao, leather and earth notes, vivid acidity on well structured frame. Fine tannins, lingering finish ending with fruit character. Should age well, a bargain compared to its Hermitage neighbors.

Oct 1st, 20192005 vintage. Dried fruit, roasted meats, little bit of pepper, tobacco and a hint of gaminess. Not really screaming
saint-Joseph for me. May be a bit past it’s prime.

Dark red fruits with a hint of the meaty gaminess. Bring it.

Sep 2nd, 2017This needed more air. Revealed some nicely concentrated, if not a bit rustic fruit. Lots of spice and fresh coffee grounds on top of the raspberries and blackberry on the palate. Has years ahead. If opening now decant for an hour plus.

Very drinkable, but perhaps past its prime. Quite soft. 2003 was a hot year, so it may not have had the structure to sustain.

May 10th, 2016Drinking nicely, but quite soft and devoid of Rhône Syrah characteristics. Overpriced.
