After drinking the ‘15 last week it seemed logical to revisit the ‘14. A whiff of reduction that mixes well with the apple and citrus scents . Beautifully handled oak that never intrudes on the wonderful pure fruit flavors.

Rich amber color. Luscious red fruits, licorice, honey, and cardamom in the nose. Deeper flavors on the palate, with very rich mouthfeel and hints of light smoke. Luxurious finish. Nice to be tasting some Japanese whisky again after a dry spell in California! — 8 years ago

Significantly better than the last one I had. Still showing a decent amount of fruit and still pure harmony. In a great spot. — 9 years ago

Is it Pure? Great stuff. 2012 is a more elegant year for Chateauneuf du Pape and while still big, this isn't the sledgehammer it could've been, and that's a good thing — 11 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. — 9 years ago

Very pure wine with a bit of stink. Pure fruit. Real length and depth. There’s a sourness and herbal prettiness to this. — 7 years ago

Enjoyed this more than my first bottle a few months ago. Has settled down a bit. Quaffable, bright tart red fruit. Again was better on day 2. Not "pure" bottling — 9 years ago

A bit out of my league, but incredible. Funk, ash, herbs de Provence, licorice. Opened slowly, as expected. Pure velvet after an hour. Probably the only opportunity I'll have to try this. — 10 years ago

Gorgeous nose. Could have done with standing upright for a day. Quite cloudy with fine sediment. No doubting the incredible Sangiovese fruit. Very pure and quite high toned. Love the style. — 10 years ago
