Producer tasting notes: (2002 vintage) "Eye : Deep ruby red with violet tinges. Nose : Spices, red berries and delicate oak aromas. Palate : A powerful and tannic wine. Aromas of blackcurrant buds and vanilla. Licorice and spicy finish. Overall : A racy and seductive wine. A perfect wine for putting down." - E. Guigal

- Producer Notes
- A structured, full-bodied wine with the elegant tannins characteristic of careful barrel ageing. A great wine which deserves patient bottle ageing. Vintage after vintage, the Collection wines have become symbols which perfectly illustrate the family’s ethos of supreme quality. Careful ageing, together with the meticulous attention paid every day by Marcel and Philippe Guigal to the selection and blending processes, bring to the fore the consistency and excellence of the great appellations of the Rhône Valley.

Vintage quality: Poor
Current condition: Likely past it
For the Rhône Valley, the 2002 vintage was not a great vintage.
