Côte-Rôtie Syrah

A wonderful expressive nose. Rich gamey fruit, black pepper, blood and deep tangy stuff. Long rich and supple. Exceptional

When Jamet with age is on it’s really on. ‘98 is showing beautifully tonight, fully open and giving wafting seductive and perfumed aromatics of ripe blackberry fruit, smoked meats, camphor and exotic spices with an elegant, satiny palate with melting tannins and a stunningly long finale. Beautiful wine, and for my tastes at its peak.

Meaty with plum fruit, black pepper, iron and great balance. Long finish.

There are certain people, places and moments that you just know you’ll love forever.

From the Rata wine list in Queenstown. Label and capsule indicates it's a recent release from the Domaine. Opened, decanted and poured. Deep dark ruby. Opaque. Wow nose. Notes of blackberries, currant, cherry, smoke and anise. Velvet texture in the mouth. Tannins nicely resolved leaving lots of rich fruit; developing great secondary characteristics. Silky. Amazing right out of the gate and over 2 hours at the table.

Holy shit.
Pump this through my veins please.

Smoky aromas with earthy flavors, strong tannins.

Out of magnum. Special way to kick off new year with Polaner team.

Lordy lordy.

98 Jamet...wow. Nearly made up for corked 82 Latour. Briny and powerful. Short tight tannins and bright black fruit.
