2000 E. Guigal Chateau d’Ampuis Côte-Rôtie
A bit tight when we first pulled the cork, but it opened up beautifully as the evening progressed. Medium red in colour with a hint of brown showing some age but only slightly. Floral notes and red fruit on the nose with cherry and spice on the palate. A very elegant wine that you would not mistake for being New World…a subtle, feminine, finesse wine that we would call a Pinot-lover’s Syrah. An excellent wine in a not particularly great vintage in the Northern Rhone.
Excellent
