  January 1, 2018 - Last drunk in 2011 and it was pretty close to perfection then....well it’s now even closer ! A brilliant showing and possibly the finest ‘traditional’ Côte Rôtie I’ve tried.

  November 14, 2017 - Decanted for 30 min. then back in the bottle, med. ruby, no brick, red & dark fruit with strong bacon nose, soft cherry on the palate, soft tannins, mod/long finish; delicious & ready to drink (unfortunately, my last bottle - bought for $45 on release!)
  
  Opened up beautifully over dinner to near perfection (perfect match for my rack of lamb at the outstanding Winemakers Table in Delray); raised score

  September 14, 2016 - Rare Northern Rhone Birthday - 1991: Relatively quiet compared to the ’91 straight Cote-Rotie drank alongside. Not as expressive on the nose and delivering darker cinnamon-like spices. Good on the palate but not as vibrant or exciting. Darker overall, perhaps a touch tired or a less than perfect bottle. Bit of maple here.

  December 13, 2011 - Drunk at Otto e Mezzo in HK (a newly minted *** Michelin).
  
  At first a very mute nose, showing little, so decanted for 1 hour. Colour opaque crimson/ black with little sign of any age. After air, a huge explosion of fruit from the glass - blackcurrants, blackberries mixed with bacon fat, white pepper and hint of very dark chocolate. Th palate is quite silky but the intensity of fruit overlays a tannic core. Surprisingly rich and polished even for a Jamet, quite luxurious compared his normal more animal style. This has the bones and stuffing to keep going for a very long time. Brilliant today and will only get better. 11 more bottles to go....
