Still powerful tannins, could cellar a bit longer. Good balance, but to much body, little to much acid, fruit is somewhat muted. Great with steaks — 6 years ago

If there were ever an archetypical Syrah, Jamet's Cote-Rotie would be a strong candidate. To me this is a pure expression of a classic Northern Rhone Syrah. It is not a single site, but a blend of terroirs, encompassing over 20 sites mostly from hard rock schist bedrock with little to no topsoil. There is NO Viognier in this wine like one might expect from most Cote-Rotie that might have 1-5% co-fermented.

Importantly, there is also a lot less of the oak character that can dominate and overwhelm many Northern Rhone wines. The oak maturation, while not short at 22 months, only uses 15% new oak with no trace of it on the palate as it is perfectly integrated. Grape bunches are whole cluster fermented and macerated for up to 3 weeks.

The 2007 we have here was drinking superbly for a young wine, showing lively and racy layers of peppercorn spice, roast beef, and warm blackberry and currant fruit from the hot 2007 vintage. While from a warm vintage, not a hair is out of place. Density and purity exude from the nose and hint at what a brilliant future this wine has. Perfect acidity and fleshy ripe tannin provide the backbone structure for father time to peel back the layers of this beauty. I will be chceking back in 5 years at the earliest. — 8 years ago

fresh squeezed grapefruit on the nose and palate upon opening. tightly wound out of the bottle but opened up after an hour in a decanter. time reveals a kiss of cherry and an underlying salinity mixed with a trace of iron. light to medium body and color. not a cocktail wine, but EXCELLENT with food. paired perfectly with black pepper chicken. definitely a go to for weeknight meal pairings. — 5 years ago

A little past its prime, unfortunately (flavor profiles are a bit flat). Still, its quality is clear. Notes of anise and black berry (which is kind of surprising), are followed up by plum and a trace of tobacco. Very good, but probably better a year or two ago. — 7 years ago

The horrible glasses that we had to use are not doing the wine justice...but it’s still terrific. Honeysuckle, lemon peel, white flowers, and a trace of vanilla on the nose. Mouth-filling and expansive across the palate - really expands - followed by a creamy smooth finish with just enough acid to keep it moving. Mark Aubert does it yet again. — 7 years ago
