Exploring Northern Rhone Syrah (Paris): On the nose pepper, coffee, toasty note, cassis, meat. Drinking well, rather ripe fruits, cassis, and soft spices, a meaty and gamey note as well. In a good place now, going tertiary now so depends on your taste. Aromatics are on the ripe side without going over the edge like so many other 2003s.

Tasted blind with friends in the Cote Rotie vineyards. Drinking easy, good balance, warm vintage but to me no real signs of it. Maybe better 5 or 10 years ago.

Wine Night at TCC (Timuquana Country Club): This was a bit different than I expected. Initially all acid and a bit of an intense note but then it starts to settle and you get that great gamey character and really the vibrancy and just beautiful.

Light in color, the wine is medium-bodied, soft, elegant and earthy with a peppery, black raspberry, and red plum profile, close to full-developed, the finish is all about the red cherry and plum profile. Drink from 2022-2029

Cote Rotie Double Blind (Chicago): The fruit is very ripe on the nose with incense and minty herbs. The palate is also ripe and glossy. Spice and woodsy notes. Odd showing. Others thought the wine suffered from VA. 86-88 point showing.

(Jamet Cote Rotie) I was hesitant about this bottle due to the vintage but the wine was spectacular and classic Cote Rotie in a very approachable style. Pefectly balanced with no heat at all which was my number one worry. Nose of smokedy bacon, olives, blueberries, dark red berries and garrigue. Palate was juicy with lovely defined berry fruit and soft tannin that was velvety and barely noticeable. Lovely wine, very drinkable and probably not a long keeper because it is so good today and doesn't seem to have the structure of Jamet from more classic vintages like 2001, 1998 or 2004.
