Saturated ruby. Highly perfumed aromas of ripe dark berries cherry olive and pungent flowers are sharpened by a suggestion of black pepper. Supple and appealingly sweet offering concentrated black raspberry cherry-cola and violet pastille flavors and a suggestion of star anise. Finishes pliant sweet and focused on the penetrating finish showing smooth tannins and excellent tenacity. (Drink between 2025-2033)
vPierre Rostaing has been shortening the cuvaison for this cuvée and the 2020 Cote Rotie Ampodium received closer to three weeks on the skins than four. It's still impressively dark and rich with scents of black olives violets raspberries and a touch of orange zest. Medium to full-bodied and velvety in feel it looks like a strong year for the estate's blended wine.
