إي غيغال كوت-روتي 'شاتو دامبوي' 2010، رون

That graphite-and-charcoal backbone really holds the dark fruit together, and the singed juniper on the finish lingers longer than I expected. Opened one last week and it still had plenty of life, though I’d guess it’s hitting its sweet spot right now.

That dark currant and blackberry paste core is just relentless here, and those graphite notes keep it from feeling heavy at all. Opened one last weekend and the warm fruitcake on the finish lingered for a solid twenty minutes after the last sip. For a 2010, it's still got plenty of life left in it.

That dark currant and blackberry paste just keeps going, and the graphite edge gives it a seriousness I didn’t expect from a ten-year-old wine. I let it breathe for an hour and the singed juniper on the finish really came through—solid buy for a special dinner.
