Parker Review:
The 2006 Cote Rotie Chateau dAmpuis is exquisite. A feminine, grand cru Musigny-styled effort, it possesses abundant floral scents along with hints of frying lard interwoven with creme de cassis, cherries, and spice. Round and generous with a superb texture, terrific purity, and a long, spicy finish, there is not a hard edge to be found in this brilliant Cote Rotie. It should drink effortlessly for 15 - 20 years.

Tanzer Review:
Bright ruby. Powerful, mineral-dominated aromas of black raspberry, cherry preserves and fresh flowers. Fleshy, palate-staining red and dark berry flavors are energized by tangy minerals, gaining sweetness with air. The very persistent finish repeats the red berry notes and leaves mouthwatering minerality behind. This wine's precision and energy are impressive. 92 - 94 points.
