1990 Guigal Cote Rotie La Turque. Decanted 2 hours prior. Prob would have been better if we decanted 1 hr before. Nose was amazing right upon decanting, but flattened out after 2-2.5 hours. Amazing. Drink now. — 4 years ago

Tasted blind. Amber tawny, not too thin. Northern Rhone nose, very exotic. More specifically you can guess Cote-Rotie on this wine just from the nose. Notes of black fruit, graphite, gravel and what my wife would say is dirty socks. Guessed 89 La Turque, which (looking back) is a complement to how well the 61 performed today. — 5 years ago

From the wine list at EMP bought by a new friend at the table next to us to go mano a mano against the 88 La Turque I shared. Slightly darker red and more pure in color. Amazing aroma that is more linear than the animalistic La La but in the same league. Hit its stride right out of the pop and pour gate. Lovely perfume with a more briary nose but speaks Cote Rotie from the get go. Perfectly integrated fruit and structure. Best Jamet I've had. Thanks to Danny for this treat. — 8 years ago

Nose: rich flavours: red pepper, violets. Great freshness. Red and black fruit (black and red berries), bit of garigue, juniper, time.

Palate: silky and smoothy, although still young style. Good lightness and acidity, red fruit – elegance and finesse of an higher altitude.

Poured w/ homemade pulled pork pizza. Delish. A touch stinky. Juicy. Just damn fun. Held up to the jalapeño, and made the pork even more succulent. What else do ya want for 15 bones? — 12 years ago

16’ Peter Michael Bella Cote (Rued vineyard). Peach, honeydew, toasty oak, fig, apricot & tangerine. Moderate acidity & ends with a long, expansive flavors. Another extraordinarily well-made wine by PM. — 5 years ago

I don’t drink Northern Rhône enough, but this terrific single vineyard Syrah crafted by the late, long-time Latour cellar master Denis Malbec is for sure nothing like new world Syrah.
The nose was filled with fresh dark cherry and raspberry, and turned to parades of cedar, fresh herbs, vanilla, dried mushroom, and light smoked hays. Slight hint of dried rose petals too. On the palate it had a richer feel than the nose would indicate. Dark spices and earthy minerals with sharp acidity. Polished tannins. — 5 years ago

Beautiful aged Cote Rotie from a half bottle. Juicy dark clue fruit up front and center. On first pour had some acid and tannins which rounded out nicely after 30 min in the decanter. 1999 vintage. — 9 years ago

1991: Trusting the makeshift neck tag. Reticent nose, yet full delivery on palate. Book smart Cote Rotie, with everything you'd expect present. The youngster of the night, yet in welcome company. No hurry to drink, will continue to develop. — 10 years ago
