Surprisingly, considering the importance of Guigal in the region, this is the first time the producer has made a Crozes-Hermitage. But they have certainly started with a fine bang, with this finely perfumed wine, bringing together ripe fruit, acidity and sweet, jelly flavors. There are even tannins to give it structure and concentration. ——R.V.(6/1/2002)—— 89
