Jamet, Cote Rotie 2001
Description
1.0cm
99 points Decanter
Nearly 20-years-old now, but still remarkably darkly coloured. It has an incredible smoky, spicy nose, firework smoke and smoked duck - a gathering of every imaginable wood smoke! Medium-bodied, very soft and silky with lovely acidity - very fresh. Smoked sausage on the palate, a dill pickle twang and a balsamic, herbal finish, deep herbal bitters. Very long, hugely expressive so vibrant and alive still. Tannins are gentle now, soft and pliant. A wine that's very hard to fault, at its peak, with no sign of falling apart anytime soon. So full of impact, so complex. Quite low in alcohol and aromatically mature. Harvested in late October. (MW)(10/2020)

Aromas of blackberry preserve, dark cherry, chocolate, roasted coffee, rosemary and charcuterie. Lively finely sanded tannins. Well preserve cherry acids and chocolate bitterness. Patate of blackberry jam, cassis, hawthorn, stock cube, juniper wood and terracotta. A vivacious, mature and utterly complex Cote-Rotie with jammy yet fresh dark fruit, beautiful bittersweet acidity and a long mineral finish. Top class. Drink within 10 years. Tasted alongside Chapoutier, Cote-Rotie, 1978 and the matched wine has delicate fruit with orange notes and is far more developed. The present wine is at its peak and everything is in perfect harmony. 3/28/2024
