“This fabulous 2005 Château d’Ampuis Côte-Rôtie is a resounding success. The first vintage to include Syrah from Guigal’s new acquisition in the Viria vineyard. Deep ruby-purple in color, it boasts an extraordinary bouquet of pepper, blackcurrant, blackberry, coffee, as well as toasty and herbal notes. Very concentrated, with pronounced tannins and intense aromas, it requires 7 to 8 years of cellaring and can be aged for 30 to 35 years.” (Robert Parker - The Wine Advocate 175 - February 2008)
