PnP. ABV 13.5%. €51 before shipping charges and taxes. Shipment just arrived this afternoon, it’s a young Syrah, who cares about travel shock. Really dark in color, almost dark purple. Bit of “longkang” smell initially, followed with flower and stem notes, seemed sweet on the nose too. Soft and sweet tannins, a little spicy too. Lively with vibrant acidity. Wide open and delicious. Good length and complexity, nothing like a Cotes du Rhone, more like a Cote Rotie really. Well made wine, then again it’s a Jamet, shouldn’t surprise anyone.

Too young but would be great in a few years - Used Coravin aerator and triple decanted with glasses lol
Opaque dark ruby with purple On the nose, grilled meats to begin with, then pepper, spices, violets On the palate, very elegant black cherries, blueberries, liquor ice, bitter finish High acidity Long finish
Cola on the nose in about 20mins

Only needs about 30 minutes in the decanter before it opens up, and then it's just what you want - a spectacularly detailed CdR that could go toe to toe with a lot of cote roties. This will age, but it will be hard to let it.

Special CdR - blueberry, violets, charcoal, tangy tomato water - dense, layered, lengthy, energetic and balanced - emphatically checks a lot of boxes.
