E. Guigal Cote Rotie Brune et Blond 2019 Rated 95VM

VinoUS Media Review
Rated 95
Inky ruby. Vibrant, spice-accented cherry and boysenberry scents are complicated by hints of black pepper, candied flowers and licorice. Supple and broad in the mouth, offering juicy red and blue fruit preserves, spicecake, olive paste and violet pastille flavors that tighten up steadily with air. The floral note repeats strongly on the clinging finish, which shows excellent clarity and velvety, slowly building tannins. There are almost a quarter-million bottles of this wine made in a typical vintage, by the way. 50% new oak. Drinking Window 2026-2037.

Wine Tasting Notes
Dark ruby red in color. The nose presents spices, red berries and delicate oak aromas. The E. Guigal Cote Rotie Brune et Blond opens with round, soft tannin that are followed by rasberry, blackberry and vanilla. Overall, the wine is balanced between scarcely perceptible acidity and tannins which add ageing potential and softened by long ageing in oak.
