Tasting through the six components of the 2001 Cote Rotie Chateau d’Ampuis suggests a wine with far greater depth, more structure, higher acidity than the 2000, and a long, heady finish. All six parcels were rated between 89 and 96 points.
Surprisingly mature, with overt roasted applewood and a hint of aged balsamic giving way to roasted plum, fig and blackberry notes and a slightly soft, Turkish coffee- and caramel-tinged finish.
