Good fruit, smooth tannins….this wine is drinking well and has some life left — 7 months ago
Great stuff. Mixes mineral pedigree of iron and blood with a lifted, red, fresh profile. Both contemplative and drinkable — 9 months ago
Lived up to all expectations. Beautiful balance, nose and structure. Crisp stone fruits, slight mineral, hint of pineapple at end. Love it — a year ago

Nice change from the usual. Grass on the nose & apricots on the tongue. Not any citrus. Very enjoyable. — 9 years ago
Surprisingly light. It starts with a floral overlay - it's there then dissipates into a light finish and then gone. Any easy drink — 11 years ago

2012, Clos Des Vignes Du Maynes, Cuvée 910, Macon-Cruzille, field blend of Gamay, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Very light with fresh red fruit balanced by spice and herbal undertones. This is one of my favorites, good as an apertif and pairs well with a variety of dishes. — 11 years ago
Very good blend of 40% Trousseau, 15% Poulsard, 45% Pinot Noir. Similar to a full red burg Pinot. A little more funk and acidity. Cherry and dried cranberries, light body. Had it 2 nights in a row, with eggplant parm and salad.
Just had my last bottle of this, and it really is great, especially mid-April as the weather transitions. Held up with pasta, despite the lighter body. — 7 months ago

If I had rated this one the night I opened it, I would have given it a slightly lower score. At first, I caught aromas of leather and meat drippings and flavors of sundried tomatoes. A couple of nights later, the wine had opened up nicely and had more floral and spice aromas and flavors of red berries and earth. Needless to say, an interesting wine, indeed. And from the Canary Islands! Huh. 90% Listan Negro, 10% Castellana Negra. 9/1/22. — 3 years ago
Amazing for the price point!! — 6 years ago
A little hot and disjointed at first, but a little air and bloomed very nicely. Some grass, red fruits, velvety texture. Very nice for a village — 10 years ago
A blend of Grenache from the right side of the Rhone river and Syrah from the left side cooler adds some freshness — 11 years ago

Just ok wrt expectations. With the exception of La Doriane, not getting much joy from Guigal these days. — 5 months ago
