Critic reviews
"The Guiraud 2010 seems a little more loose-knit on the nose compared to others, with lanolin and dried honey aromas gently unfurling in the glass, before revealing its mineral core – as if this wine is teasing you. The palate is well-balanced with a fine line of acidity. There is abundant clean and pure botrytized fruit and a crisp, linear finish that is very appealing. The oak appears to have been absorbed in recent months, leaving a very accomplished Guiraud. Drink now-2035."

"Smells a bit like Lucozade. Good freshness and attack. Not one of the sweetest. But very appetising. This is a wine you could drink with a meal. Muscular. Lively."
