Jadot Clos St Jacques Vertical: '90 '02 '08 (Rosebowl @ Ben & Kendra's): Pnp over 4 hours. The 2008 is a treat for its medium weight, crunch, and grip but as compared to the others today, it offers more green notes and is more notably tannic. Savory and tangy with notes of earth, flowers, and roast meats. Nice oomph without being overbearing. A little wild. Paired well with a range of foods including melty iberico. This could use some smoothing out but unclear whether it's got the fruit to get there. Try 2026-2028.

First of 6 purchased on release. What is this rule of fifteen nonsense, this is always a 20 year wine, at least. A really nice hint of potential on opening with the initial aromas. But for the first few hours, in the mouth this is hard and thin, with sharp tannins, even angular, saying 'just go away'. With 2-3 hours of air it transforms, the nose very expressive but higher-toned than usual, and gains tremendous depth of flavor. A pretty great $59 bottle of wine, but wait 5 more years to open the next one :-).

Aroma of fruit, a bit of flower and mint, typical Jadot. Medium wine body good for food pairing. No surprise at all. A Clos Saint Jacques not up to what it stands for.

Just a suggestion of Vitamin B when first poured. It breathes up quickly and is a very good wine in a very good spot. There are rich, tangy berry and cherry fruits. It has a bright line of minerally acidity and subtle savoury nuance. It builds through the palate and is expansive and highly perfumed.

Too soon? Flat and maybe gone dormant.
