E. Guigal
Château d'Ampuis Côte-Rôtie Syrah
2001 vintage. Some oxidation on the nose, more evolved than expected. Better in the mouth, drinking quite well on the first day, dead the next day, so drink quickly.

Feb 7th, 2015After a whole night of spectacular wines, some just don't excite as much regardless of how great they are. This was complex, savory with an elegant herbal quality. I wish I could have appreciated it more, but palate fatigue set in.
