2019 | E. Guigal Chateau d'Ampuis Cote Rotie | Rhone Château Cantemerle ash and some blackcurrantsScheduled to be botted at the end of this October, the 2019 Cte Rtie Chateau D'Ampuis is another beautiful, layered, incredibly impressive wine. Ripe darker fruits, smoked meats, tapenade, and ground pepper all define the bouquet, and it's full bodied, with a wealth of baby fat, lots of tannins, and a great, great finish. It's certainly in line with past vintages and perhaps shows a touch more tannic structure than the 2018. 97 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
