Rene Rostaing Ampodium Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2014 (1500ml)

Justin Bothur

Blueberry jam, boysenberry, black peppercorn, purple flowers, touch of coffee grind. Pretty balanced and integrated, drinking well now. Fairly long finish.

Ryan Mullins

Granite city! The 2014 is a special vintage for this bottling. Incredible depth and freshness!

Mario Vaillancourt

Nice typical Syrah aromatics with violets and white pepper, some olives too. The palate is soft to medium bodied, elegant and classy, the finish has a very slight tangy and drying feel to it though, very good even if not the most complex and needs more time. The entry level of Rostaing’s Côte Rotie. Belle Syrah avec ses arômes de violettes et de poivre blanc. La Bouche assez souple et fine, belle élégance et classe, finale très légèrement asséchante et acidulée, pas le plus complexe mais délicieux et a besoin de temps encore. 90-91

Scott Layne

Pretty ideal Syrah. Peppery, tobacco aromas, well balanced. Paired well with Indian butter chickpeas.

Served blind from a half bottle. Convinced it was S. Rhône

Nick Ferrall

Wow. Never thought I would call a Syrah delicate, but this bottle was filled with a ton of lift and complexity. I bow down to René.

Olivier Huguenin

Un peu trop jeune, même si on sent un jus très pur, élégant

Garnet to purple. Small rim. Brick coloured. Silky yet muscular. Lovely medium bodied texture. Medium to medium plus tannin structured. Fresh acidity. Raspberries, dark fruits, bacon. Strong finnish. Serve at 15 degrees with a tartar with egg yolk and a baconflavoured mayo.
