WOW. At first open, it’s a ton of date oxidation but that quickly blows off and was hitting its stride about an hour in.
Dinner was crafted around the wine - chicken thighs with green olives, olive brine, artichokes, and an appropriate amount of poached garlic. Absolutely perfect pairing. Didn’t see green olive as a tasting note, but that would be more appropriate than black. Briny and incredible.
At an hour and a half, hard to believe this baby is twenty years old. It’s extraordinary. First Jasmin experience and I don’t expect it will be my last.

Purchased from winebid at $70.
Big bacon fat right up front. Surprising tannin. Intense, long finish. Changes beautifully as it opens up. Absolute stunner.

Solid acid. Dark fruit, but not terribly fruit forward. Excellent at the price point.
