Wine Advocate-Parker : The first vintage to be bottled with the engraved bottle, the 2004 Cote Rotie Chateau d'Ampuis is a clean, classy, balanced and medium-bodied effort that gives up classic black fruits, pepper and smoke intermixed with notions of olive tapenade, underbrush and game. Beautifully complex, elegant and seamless, drink it over the coming 5 to 7 years.
