The red wine Côte-Rôtie AOC Chateau d’Ampuis, vintage 2009 from the winery E. Guigal has been rated in 2015 with 94 Falstaff points.
Tasting Notes
Strong ruby garnet with purple reflections and a broad water edge suggesting some maturity. Delicate caramel on the nose, as well as hints of cookie, tobacco and sweet spices - smoky and attractive. The juicy palate brings medium complexity of red berry fruit, firm tannins, and a chocoate touch on the finish. Freshly structured, it's still a bit restrained and will benefit from further bottle age.
