E. Guigal Côtes-du-Rhône 2012

Dark red cherry color. Nose of wild berries, spices, aromatic herbs, dust and leather. Began as an easy drinker, air did make the wine show its structure and its spicyness while being enjoyable. Put some bottles in the cellar for 2-3 years and you’ll be rewarded! Did that few years ago when I started pilling up bottles. Good+ (88)

Blend of 50 % Syrah, 45 % Grenache, 5% Mourvèdre. Partially aged in large oak barrel for 18 months. Alcohol level of 14%

Available at the SAQ for 20,15$ (Code SAQ : 00259721)
