• When to drink this wine : 2023 - 2035
• Tasted by Joe Czerwinski in 2022: "A forward blend assembled from several barrels for my tasting, the 2020 Cote Rotie Amethyste - a blend of five lieux-dits - is dark fruity and plummy, but also vaguely herbal and edgy. On the palate, it's tannic but ripe, with a rich, silky feel and a long finish that evokes blackberries and dusty tannins."
