E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie Château d’Ampuis 2019 (95 WS)
“Fresh and stewed plum flavors have a caressing feel, with bitter chocolate and singed lard chiming in. Orange peel acidity nicely props up the round, weighty palate, while bitter cherry, roasted applewood and mesquite smoke stretch out on the firm, iron-edged finish. “ – K.B. 11/23
