Expert Reviews
White pepper and sandalwood accents lead off in this traditional-style Côte-Rôtie, with gently mulled cherry and red currant fruit forming the core. A lavender note infuses the dusty-edged finish. Best from 2022 through 2030. 1,800 cases made.

Hints of peppery spice and licorice add complexity to the blueberry and cassis-scented nose of the 2017 Cote Rotie Ampodium. It's medium to full-bodied, with silky but firm tannins and a long, dusty finish. It should be approachable in a couple of years but drink gracefully for a decade and a half.
