Glass-staining ruby. Pungent aromas of ripe black and blue fruits licorice smoked meat potpourri and black pepper. Offers densely packed cassis bitter cherry and candied violet flavors that show fine definition and are braced by an undercurrent of juicy acidity. The licorice cassis and floral notes repeat on a long spice- and mineral-accented finish that features youthfully chewy tannins and a hint of bitter chocolate. (Drink between 2026-2036)
vWine Advocate: 91-93 Points
A prospective blend assembled from several barrels for my tasting the 2020 Cote Rotie Amethyste?a blend of five lieux-dits?is dark fruited and plummy yet also vaguely herbal and wiry. In the mouth it's medium to full-bodied tannic but ripe with a rich silky feel and a long finish that echoes of blackberries and dusty tannins.
