Brune et Blonde de Guigal Côte-Rotie Syrah


Lovely aromas of dried meat, spice , lilac, dusty rose petals and a little white pepper. On the palate less than medium weight. One of Australia’s leading wines in this genre is Mt Langhi Ghiran “Langi” admittedly more expensive I would much prefer or Grampians Estate at Heathcote for similar money. Expected more from this Cote Rotie to be honest. Lacking in mid palate fruit from previous Cote Roties I have enjoyed. Disappointing.

Red and blue fruits. Black pepper, dried herb, slight medicinal nose. Very subtle nose. Tannins are a bit aggressive, great structure and long finish.

Good vibrant acidity, firm chewy tannin, but good open red fruit, herb, spice and a long vanilla, tobacco oak finish. Very good. Better in 5+ years.

Blackberries, violets, iron, smoked meat, bay leaf and coffee. Drinking nicely now but the oak dominates the finish and should hopefully integrate better in a couple years.

Mar 21st, 2016Beautiful and complex #coterotie nose with some new oak aromas. Big and primary on the palate with slightly less than elegant tannins. Needs a few years but this is absolutely delicious. #guigal #rhone
