description: Smoky and slightly bacony on the nose, but also quite cedary. The lavish oak is even more apparent in the mouth, where cedar and vanilla flavors take charge. It's supple, easy to drink and a very enjoyable wine, but the Cote-Rotie distinctiveness needs time to emerge. Try in 2008.
variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
designation: Chateau D'Ampuis
