Guigal Cote-Rotie d'Ampuis - 2010 (750ml) Size:750ml The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Janzen

The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Janzen Beckstoffer Missouri Hopper Vineyard comes across as plush

the final blend is 53% Cabernet Sauvignon

has produced a magnificent wine with the classic creme de cassis note intermixed with smoke

yet I suspect will improve with another handful of years in the cellar and drink well through 2027 at a minimum

Guigal Cote-Rotie d'Ampuis - 2010 (750ml) Size:750ml The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon JanzenMore closed than when I tasted it earlier this year, the 2010 Cote Rotie Chateau dAmpuis is an incredible effort thats made from 93% Syrah and 7% Viognier. Coming from the estates top sites and aged 38 months in new oak, it has no problem standing beside the top three single vineyard releases. Crme de cassis, vanilla bean, smoked meats and licorice all flow to a full bodied, beautifully concentrated, structured Cote Rotie that needs another 5 6 years
