Bottled in July, the 2015 Cote Rotie Ampodium is fairly full-bodied and quite rich. The black olive and raspberry notes verge on being jammy but are balanced by peppery spice and firm, savory tannins. Give it 5 years in the cellar to settle down, and drink it over the next decade and a half or more. For an entry-level wine, it's remarkable.
Jancis Robinson: Dark purple. Nervy and savoury with lots of high-toned tension. Lovely round, relaxed palate. Great balance and almost approachable. Bone-dry, fermented treacle toffee.
