Cask sample, tasted at the domaine. Elegant and smoked peat nose, vivid and floral. Superb richness and elegance and defined rounded tannins – concentrated fruit and with excellent fresh acidity. Corpulent but also structurally very together – introverted perhaps – has a slight tequila damp-earth attractive note on the finish. ~ (17.5) Alistair Cooper, JancisRobinson.com 11-30-2020

An opulent, rich vintage of this cuvée, the 2019 Cote Rotie Ampodium still offers up nicely detailed, intricate floral notes layered atop raspberries and mocha. Medium to full-bodied, it's velvety and lush, with plenty of length on the finish. It should drink well for more than a decade. ~ (93) Joe Czerwinski, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 1-20-2022

Gently steeped cherry and plum notes form the core in this red, while light floral, white pepper and red licorice accents fill in along the edges. A long, subtle sanguine thread stitches up the savory finish. Best from 2023 through 2033. 1,500 cases made. ~ (93) Wine Spectator, Wine Spectator 5-31-2022
