Wines Before / At / After a Passover Seder (The Krengels - Bannockburn IL): This had been opened and decanted 6+ hours in advance, and still clearly needs more time. Ripe black berries, well spiced, with traces of liqueur and preserves. Lots of fruit, spice, energy, and structure in near harmony, but with great potential. I'd give this until at least 2030 to show its full potential.
Obviously silly young for a Jamet but the bottle was opened and with tons of air it was enjoyable if still quite primary. Medium-to-full bodied with good depth of dark berry fruit and the classic fine, silky texture of Jamet is quite apparent. Some lovely CR flavors emerge late with notes of campfire embers and slate minerals. I see no reason why this won't become an excellent vintage for this seductive, Burgundian Cote Rotie in proper time. 92+

Tellement jeune, mais tellement bon. Gros fruit noir, sanguin, violette. Certainement un infanticide, mais un plaisir immediat certes. La prochaine dans 10 ans

Very ripe profile, certainly into the blue fruit range, but also full of lovely smokey, meaty nuances. Lots of very fine tannin, lots of palate material. Very young of course. Lacks length though. Delicious but not profound.

Young? Sure but already so much character. Nose came out with some time. Slightly more alcohol than I would have liked but carries it so delicately.
