Brune et Blonde de Guigal Côte-Rotie Syrah

And it's prime right now.

From 375 ml. Still very young, but who cares. Great stuff!

I'm a big Côte-Rôtie fan but this particular bottle is not what I look for in a good C-R. I'm after the more refined and lighter end of the spectrum.

Lovely mellow light with dark fruit and berries

As always Guigal delivers

Dark burgundy in color, smell of white pepper, anise, and red fruits, medium to full body, fine silky tannin, with hint of mint, strawberry, and spice with a medium to long finish with a sweet, honey like after taste.

One dimensional. Strong iron ore taste.

Another great showing from this “humble” wine. Amazing guigal can make such good wine on a massive scale

Another great Guigal!
