E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie Château d’Ampuis 2016 (95 WS)
“This lovely version throws off some pretty stylish aromas of incense, black tea and juniper, followed by a focused core of steeped cherry and plum fruit. Subtle mineral and savory details imbue the finish, which offers a mix of velvet and iron elements.”
