E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie Château d’Ampuis 2019 (95-97 JD) (95-97)
“Scheduled to be botted at the end of this October, the 2019 Côte Rôtie Chateau D’Ampuis is another beautiful, layered, incredibly impressive wine. Ripe darker fruits, smoked meats, tapenade, and ground pepper all define the bouquet, and it’s full-bodied, with a wealth of baby fat, lots of tannins, and a great, great finish. It’s certainly in line with past vintages and perhaps shows a touch more tannic structure than the 2018.” -J.D 12/22
