2010 E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie Château d'Ampuis, France, Rhone, Wine Review
This is in a great place right now. It has started to shed some of its oak coat and the fruit is coming thru. Purple in color, opaque and bright. The nose has boysenberries, spice, slight lumber, black pepper and roasted herbs. Full bodied. Medium tannins. Nice texture. On the palate, boysenberries, vanilla, spice, black pepper and roasted herbs. Long finish. This could use a few more years but should drink well for another ten to fifteen. Right now it could use some fatty food to match it with.
