E. Guigal Château d'Ampuis Côte-Rôtie Syrah 1998
The extraordinary 1998 Cote Rotie Chateau d'Ampuis is more structured, powerful, and concentrated than the 1997... All revealed huge colors, earthy, smoky noses with bacon fat and black currants, and various degrees of tannin... It is dense, chewy, and muscular. This wine will be at its finest between 2007-2020.

Oddly muted and not very outgoing. A little rubbery. I didn’t dislike it but didn’t love it either. After checking in on day two it was much more giving with dark fruits, coffee and leather. Still young

Beautiful and elegant now. Fragrant, fresh aromas. Tannin and great fruit with serious driving acidity. Spectacular currently.
