Community Tasting Notes 20

  January 23, 2024 - Fun to try, notes from memory, totally massive and a little overblown / really shows the heat. This shows a little more like Cabernet than Syrah or at least Cote Rotie, not much smokiness, no florals, no olive, etc., Pleasant and nice to drink on a freezing cold evening apres ski.

  August 19, 2023 - 5th of 12, decanted an hour, perfect cork and level, gone back into shell a bit since 2 excellent bottles in 21, even showing a slightly green edge as seen in first bottles, plenty here and not over alcoholic or hot, fine underlying style and should re-emerge with higher rating than F (17.5).

  April 22, 2023 - 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.

  May 16, 2022 - God, in fine harmony, rich like the vintage (his wines so often reflects the vintage 1:1), some warmth, but 2003 is well handled here. Olives. bacon, ripe fruit. No complaints.
