2022 Côte-Rôtie Ampodium Domaine Rostaing

At once fresh and deep with excellent precision, this is a wonderful Cote-Rotie that leaps across the palate. Stacks of fresh forest berries, delicate pepper and red roses. The fine tannins build beautifully in the long, vibrant finish. Excellent aging potential. A cuvee of syrah from more than 20 plots across the appellation.

Mørk, blækket, rank frugt med nydelig druekarakter. Afdæmpet egetræ og mørkt, tobakket og mineralsk krydderi. Frisk og frugtig og generelt lidt tilbageholdende duft, men med mange lovende takter og med betydelig aromarigdom. En vin med en flot fremtid foran sig. Letdrikkelig, præcis, delikat, ambitiøs og med betydelig længde.

I tasted various components that will curate the final blend of the 2022 Côte-Rôtie Ampodium. Red-fruited, juicy and structured, the 2022 shows an inviting character alongside a firm tannic structure. I look forward to tasting it from bottle.

Tasted from multiple barrels, the 2022 Côte Rôtie Ampodium will easily be an outstanding wine. All of the barrels had saturated purple hues, terrific purity, lots of both red and blue fruits, integrated oak, and ripe, polished tannins. It's going to be a smoking good base cuvée from this talented family.
