  We had the 1998 Guigal Château d'Ampuis earlier this month and I far preferred this bottling -- livelier, more of its place, more structured. Fully ready to drink.

  Held up well. Smoky nose and mid-palette with a suitably spicy finish. Opened on Friendsgiving to celebrate 25 years of friendship with the neighbors.

  PnP, this showed really well. Deep syrah aromatics with leather, dark fruit, earthy and beefy elements. Relatively light palate pointing to the village level. Excellent food wine. Drink up, holding well but past peak.

  Lys transparent rød-brun farge. Moden aroma med tydelige jordlige toner, , oliven og litt kryddertoner. Moden munnfølelse med fullstendig integrerte tanniner, men samtidig tydelig syre, ok lengde. Etter hvert som vinen fikk mer luft så kom det frem mer frukt og en lett sødme i frukten. Ok lengde.
  Rett etter åpning så virket vinen neste gone, ble dekantert i 30-45 min og da våknet den igjen. Uansett full moden og noen år over toppen, så du må like godt modne viner for å sette pris på denne( i hvert fall de flaskene jeg har, kjøpt på auksjon). 90- p.

  On the downside of the curve but still enjoyable. The tannins which were very prominent earlier are tamed. there is still some black fruit and herbs. Drank over 2 nights without much change.
