Wine Critic Reviews
Mostly blended but still in barrel, the 2018 Cote Rotie Ampodium is a terrific introduction to the Côte Rôties of Rostaing. Mulberries and licorice appear on the nose, followed by savory notes of espresso and black olives on the medium to full-bodied palate. It's silky, fine and complex, with a long, softly dusty finish. I also tasted a richer, more structured lot from la Viallière that will be blended in, along with a terrific-looking barrel from Leyat that will add floral, raspberry and mocha notes.

Opaque ruby. Spice-accented aromas of black raspberry, violet and smoky minerals, plus a hint of cola. Smooth and expansive on the palate, offering juicy cherry, dark berry, floral pastille and cracked pepper flavors and a hint of smokiness. Fleshes out slowly with air and shows excellent clarity and repeating spiciness on the long, discreetly tannic finish.
