Domaine Jasmin Cote Rotie 2012 Vintage
A wine that seems to make the rounds as you can currently find it from @rarewineco , @kermitlynchwine and - here in Denver - from @ajselection. Old school producer that survived through WWII and sticks to just one bottling. De-stemmed from what I surmise but not without a rustic, bloody meatiness on the nose. Slight reduction, still young. The fruit character is markedly NOT black or purple like the Crozes / St Josephs I'm so often drinking instead (cheaper). Instead, it's a medley of black cherry, strawberry and sweet raspberry with an oddly contrasted tropical edge (hello 4% viognier!), that ultimately takes a back seat to the savory, spice notes. Certainly ample body despite being only 12.5% and aged in neutral oak. Seems built for the long haul. Cool wine. I sell magnums of 2007... I wonder what that tastes like?

Young and concentrated. Began to open up after an hour in the decanter. Forget about it for a few years. #coterotie #patrickjasmin #rhonevalley #syrah #riedel #ctbucklinwine

Gorgeous nose but the wine is discrete and reticent in the mouth. Mineral, dense and long. Great potential and probably deserving of a higher score but needs time. In 5 years maybe ?
