Elegant and finesse driven (a hallmark of the estate), with beautiful violet, iron, smoked meat, peppercorn, and spiced red fruits, the 2006 Domaine Jasmin Côte-Rôtie comes from 11 different plots that are spread across the appellation. Showing the more delicate side of both the region, and vintage, this fleshes out with air, showing a medium bodied, silky personality, juicy acidity, and a powerful, long finish that has you coming back for another sip. Delicious now, and hard to put down, I would consume bottle over the coming 10-12 years. (3/2011)
