The 2004 Guyon Clos du Roy is every bit as impressive as their fine Bressandes, and like that wine, is really quite moderately marked by the style of the vintage. The bouquet jumps from the glass in a complex mélange of cherries, plums, woodsmoke, a bit of venison, coffee, coriander seed and stony soil tones. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, deep and well-balanced, with a fine core, moderate tannins and fine length and grip on the very gently peppery finish. Fine juice with another few years of cellaring.
