E. Guigal
E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie ‘Château D’Ampuis’
Spicy red fruits, incense, violet and botanical herbs on the flamboyantly perfumed nose, offering hints of cracked pepper, bacon, clove and leather. It’s reasonably full-bodied for Côte Rôtie, with feral, smoked-meat flavors, ample spice and plenty of the concentrated plummy fruit. Tannins are silky, making this approachable now, but likely capable of aging further.
