Guiraud 1998 Ex-Chateau (750ML)

92 WA / 90 VM

The 1998 Guiraud is medium gold colored and has quite a toasty/nutty nose with praline and croissant notions over a core of peach preserves, oil skin and white truffle. Mature in the mouth, it sports appealing stone fruit and earthy layers with the richness coming through on the finish. - Lisa Perotti-Brown, Wine Advocate

Medium yellow. Complex nose melds pear, peach, spicy oak, licorice, and some intriguing herbal and vegetal nuances. Very intensely flavored and bright, with fruit flavors enlivened by a note of peppermint. Finishes brisk and spicy, with strong honey and licorice botrytis character. An excellent vintage for Guiraud. - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous Media
