Château d'Ampuis Côte-Rôtie Syrah

94-95

This was one of the wines I served for my annual WWC hosting. All wines served blind.

93 syrah/ 7 viognier

The third syrah in my lineup was a wine I've enjoyed a few times over the last five years. Bangin' vintage and in a style I enjoy (syrah and vio). Purple-black in the glass, it offers up killer aromatics of rich, dark fruit, some baking spice, and smoked meat. Even with nearly four hours, this was a monster in structure with tannin that paired beautifully with an herb crusted lamb rack. Powerful on the palate with smoked berries, bacon, espresso, vanilla and a savory finish. Still on the upswing with lots of wonderful Cote-Rotie fireworks in store. Wish I had another!

Blend of 93% Syrah & 7% Viognier, Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruits and complex spices. On the palate flavors of blackberry, plum and jammy currants with cacao and black pepper. Fine savory tannins, long smooth finish ending with sweet spice notes. Nice! Tasting Sample!
