Château d'Ampuis Côte-Rôtie Syrah

Savory, blueberry, medium plus across the board, smoke, meaty, peppercorn...

Insanely good for a young Côte rotie. All the guts were there. Held up for days. Beautiful.

Totally cooked. Real bummer

Just below the la la wine the chateau d'ampuis

Big, ripe black fruit. Dense with lists of power.

Seriously great.

firdt vintage 95 blend of vineyards next to single vnyd LaLa 2009 for me a great discovery and amazing from the Viara vnyd the steepest vnyd in cote rotie. 50% or 120 %

Carafé et décanté 3 heures avant. Floral, fruits noirs, une bouche mure, juteuse, pleine et riche, puissant mais avec des tannins soyeux et approchables, excellent et encore un bébé presque. 93

Blind tasting lunch 2009 theme. My offering, decanted 3 hours. Flowery and black fruit notes, palate is juicy, full, rich and powerful with velvety textured tannins, nice finish, still a baby almost.

Drinking well on the flight home showing lots of dark berry fruits, black olive, pepper, iron, meat & licorice spice.

2009 France night. Syrah as only the French can make it!
