Guigal, Cote Rotie Ampuis Vintage:2018 There are also understated marmalade

There are also understated marmalade notes with a suggestion of crème brûlée furnishing the weighty finish that goes on and on

There is a hint of warmth but overall this is quite well-balanced and the length is remarkable

it has terrific fruit intensity

This is bold but beautiful

as the 2013 really needs a number of years to be at its very best

Guigal, Cote Rotie Ampuis Vintage:2018 There are also understated marmaladeThe 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.
