Tasting Notes

The 2016 Côte Rôtie Amethyste is in the same ballpark, with slightly more charm, exotic notes of gamy meats, medicinal herbs, beef blood, and iron. It’s nicely concentrated, medium to full-bodied, and shows the wild, sauvage character of this estate beautifully. It will benefit from short-term cellaring and keep for 10-15 years.
