Gorgeous aromatics of stem-filled black fruit with meat and exotic spices. Palate has mid-weight with good nuanced fruit. Totally in the house style. Excellent QPR.

Le premier jour, le vin est bon mais rien d'extraordinaire (90-91). 4 jours plus tard, le fond de la bouteille est magnifique. Le vin s'est épanoui et n'a pas du tout pris l'oxydation. Il présente une interminable finale sur le poivre, les épices et les fruits rouges. Du grand art pour un Côtes-du-Rhône. Dommage qu'il m'ait fallu 4 jours pour en profiter.

Genuine, wonderful Northern Rhône Syrah. Drinks like a Cote-Rotie, really, with notes of violets, olives, bacon/smoked meat. There’s lovely dark fruit, notes of tobacco, smoke, pepper. Tres bon vin. Ready to drink and I don’t think it will improve from here.

Multiple bottles different occasions with 5-7 years age on the bottles. Feeling a more hedonistic playful character this side of Jamet. More of the raspberries strawberries brambly side of the domaine, playful and fun while still being a benchmark for quality with a natural backbone that will make this stand for many years without any problem no doubt.

Ok, so I could not keep my hands off this despite my vows. This just gets better and better, but still has so much time ahead. Nice mild pepper, floral, berry - hits it all with great balance.
I really need to hold some of these back for another 5 years...

Has gained weight and depth since last bottle. This is impressive now, shows notes of tobacco, broth and dark olives. The fruit is dark, there is good depth and complexity here. Genuine wine, wow.

Cigar box - tobacco and cedar. Some roses? Still closed and tannic enough that I recommend waiting several years to drink more. My last bottles were more open, so perhaps closing down a bit. I suspect this one is built for the long haul, so I am going to keep at least a few for another 8-10 years just to see.

Bright red. Earthy nose w tobacco and big pepper! Spicy. Rustic, but smooth too and forceful. Very nice and will age well for 5+ years. Great vintage for this wine.

Somewhat simple as to be expected, no it's not fair to expect a baby Côte Rôtie. These vines sit across the road from Côte Rôtie. Pomegranate molasses/thick red raspberry fruit, but sufficiently lifted and bright such that it is refreshing. Nose brings to mind Faury Syrah but it's smoother and less feral, feels stemmy but polished; obviously not the elegance of a Côte Rôtie but managed an elegant balance nonetheless. At 16€, back up the truck. Roses come to mind with air, and it seems to gain conviction, even alluding to the tiniest meatiness. Yum.

My first taste of a wine from Jamet. I liked it, it was open for business with a soft and moderately spiced palate and moderate finish. I must however agree with CHABLIS28 post that this is overpriced.

A solid example of what you get most of the time from syrah dominated CDRs. Only problem, you usually get this level of CDR for half the $35 I paid, or less. I love Jamets Cote Roties but this isn't declassified Jamet Cote Rotie. And I doubt they claim it is. I was just hoping it might be. As other's have noted it has a nice little spicy peppery nose, some tar and meat on the palate and savory flavors on a traditionally styled frame. 12.5% Alc. I really like this wine but with the Jamet name on the label, its overpriced. Saw it and had to have one to try. Now I know. Paid $35 drinks like $15-$20 tops.

Very approachable after just 15 mins of air. Cool, Northern Rhone syrah, floral with pebbly dark fruit, pepper and spices and notes of smoked meat. This is very light, poised, very precise and pure. Pure joy right now, no harm drinking it here, but I'm sure it will age nicely too for 5-10 yrs.

Elegang feminint udtryk og klassisk syrahnæse med tons af hvid peber. På alle leder Cote Rôtie light. Munden er ganske syrlig, men den stikkende fornemmelse forsvinder i selskab med lammet!

Fragrant berry and lilac aromas on first open. Tastes very peppery and more earth and herbal than the nose. Light bodied. Still reserved. Good.

Joli vin, élégant, très typé syrah. Légèrement acide à l'ouverture, il s'est harmonisé le lendemain.
A carafer ou attendre 2 ou 3 ans.

This has lost its fruit. Some dark fruit and black pepper notes emerge with time. Better in the past. Su Hot Pot dinner in Hastings.

Spicy on the nose and palate with notes of embers, pepper and tar.
Good structure with tannins to make it last another 10.
