Guigal - Château d'Ampuis 2010

94-96+/100
Robert Parker
“The 2010 Côte-Rôtie is a fresher, more defined version than the 2009 vintage. It offers abundant notes of blackcurrant and pepper, with a rather meaty undertone. This magnificent wine leaves a lasting impression on the palate with its full-bodied richness and depth, its concentration, and its ripe tannins, all wrapped in lively acidity. Blended from 93% Syrah and 7% Viognier and aged for 38 months in new French oak barrels, this is a serious wine that will require patience.” (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker) • Delivered in its original wooden case for orders of 3 bottles of this wine shipped within France •
