This amaro is smooth and sweet upfront

It combines density and sweetness on the one hand

Domaine Auguste Clape, Syrah, Côtes du Rhone, Northern Rhône, France 2020 skincontact This amaro is smooth andThe Ctes du Rhne is crafted from a selection of young vine Cornas and older Syrah on deeper clay soils just outside the appellation. Sturdy and mineral driven, it tastes like the grapes were prompted, gently but insistently, to eke out the pure essence of Syrah. It can be enjoyed young, but has enough density and chewy flesh to age for up to a decade.
