Ampodium 2009 Rostaing

Professionelle Bewertungen

Robert Parker (90)

The 2009 Cote Rotie Ampodium (a name change for the Classique starting with this vintage) exhibits sweeter, riper fruit as well as abundant raspberry and cherry notes intermixed with bacon fat and spice. This is 100% Syrah with no Viognier co-fermented. There is some tannin to shed, but the overall impression is one of flesh and intensity.

Rene Rostaing’s elegant style is well-displayed in both 2010 and the riper, more fleshy, exuberant 2009 vintage. Always the sexiest wine in Rostaing’s cellar is the Cote Rotie Cote Blonde. It includes 3-4% co-fermented Viognier and is always the most seamless wine resembling haute couture.

A very sleek, precise style, with white pepper, cherry eau de vie and violet notes riding a knife edge of iron through the finish. Not big, but focused and intense.
