Barrel samples of Graillot's 1994s appear to be excellent, but his 1993s, while relatively successful given the number of failures in this vintage, are lean, compact, diluted wines with just enough fruit to make them drinkable. The top cuvee, the 1993 Crozes-Hermitage La Guiraude, is more deeply colored, with more noticeable new oak, but it is lean, straightforward, medium-bodied, and lacking fruit.
