Guigal, Cote Rotie Ampuis Vintage:2003 various citrus elements and ripeThe 2015 Cote Rotie Chateau d'Ampuis is remarkably dense and concentrated, packed with dark fruit and rich tannins. It's full bodied and supple on the mid palate, adding hints of vanilla, espresso and dried spices on the long, velvety finish. Give it another 3 4 years in the cellar, then drink it over the next two decades.
