E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie Brune et Blonde 2017 (94 VM)
“Saturated ruby. Cherry-cola, blackberry, candied flowers and a hint of olive on the spice- and smoke-tinged nose. Fleshy and broad in the mouth, offering bitter cherry, dark berry and fruitcake flavors that become livelier and sweeter as the wine opens up. Shows fine detail and resonating florality on a very long, smooth finish that’s shaped by discreet, well-knit tannins.” -J.R 12/22
