E.GUIGAL CÔTES DU RHÔNE RED 2012

“A big success in the vintage, the 2013 Cotes du Rhone has lots of Syrah character in its smoked earth, pepper, dark fruits and olive-scented bouquet. Medium-bodied, with good mid-palate density and plenty of tannin, it should round into form once bottled and drink well for a 7-8 years,” said Jeb Dunnuck. It is best matched with cold meats, meat, game bird and cheese. (Negociants)
