Domaine Rostaing, Syrah, Ampodium, Côte-Rotie, Northern Rhône, France 2018 organic Etna in SicilyMostly blended but still in barrel, the 2018 Cte Rtie Ampodium is a terrific introduction to the Cte Rties of Rostaing. Mulberries and licorice appear on the nose, followed by savory notes of espresso and black olives on the medium to full bodied palate. It's silky, fine and complex, with a long, softly dusty finish. I also tasted a richer, more structured lot from la Viallire that will be blended in, along with a terrific looking barrel from Leyat
