"The 1989 Côte-Rôtie from Domaine Jamet is a beautiful bottle of wine that is fully into its apogee and drinking splendidly. The bouquet is deep, complex and quite classy in its mélange of cassis, black olives, pepper, stony soil tones, a touch of meatiness and a decidedly smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, complex and shows off outstanding mid-palate depth, with ripe, melting tannins, superb focus and grip on a very long, pure and soil-driven finish. This is a beautiful bottle from what was a pretty difficult, drought year in Côte-Rôtie." View From the Cellar, Jul/Aug 2013, Issue #46 |
