A very strange wine. While I am usually a fan of gideon's wine, this was a miss for me. Disjointed and unwieldy, and despite a low alcohol % (13.2), still a very heavy presence.

Typically overripe as I have found with all of the wines from the Rhone in 2003. Sweet, too much oak and overpriced. Guigal has lost what ever cache they used to have for Cote Rotie for me.... Well they actually did long ago, but this confirms why.
