E. Guigal Côtes-du-Rhône Rouge 2016 (90 VM)
“Deep, brilliant ruby color. Expansive dark berry, cherry, floral and spice aromas show very good clarity and pick up darker olive and licorice notes as the wine opens up. Sweet and energetic on the palate, offering juicy cherry, blackberry flavors and a spicy jolt of cracked pepper. Finishes with impressive length, sneaky tannins and a lingering suggestion of candied flowers…delivers outstanding value. The inherent elegance of the 2016 vintage comes through loud and clear. It’ll age well, too, if one is so inclined.”
