Domaine Jamet Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2016

Dave Keatley

First time tasting Jamet and enjoyed it! We had the wine decanted but it still needed an hour to clear out the smoked meat reduction. Opened up into lovely red fruit and great acid driven energy

Yes, you can still see some new oak in the wine, but it doesn't detract from how elegant the 16' Jamet Cote-Rotie is. The wine is incredibly detailed at this point and such a joy to sip on. Very perfumed nose, which evolved rapidly in the glass with air - fresh mix of red and black fruits, licorice, cedar, spice (garam masala comes to mind), violets, hints of olive and leather. The palate is so fine and juicy with silky tannins and just enough acidity to keep you going. Long and focused finish, saturated in minerality and florals. Absolutely irresistible at the moment, but I can definitely see the rewards in cellaring this.

Still woody and primary. Still delicious.

Let breath for 2 days. Still could have used a 3rd but we are impatient. Deep dank sensual purple fruited powerhouse. Wanted to sit with this wine for hours. Each sip revealed more of its complex bouquet. Tannins got the best of us and had to move back to white wine. Thx Cerasulo.

My first Jamet and I now an official fawning groupie. Very young and still coiled tightly, but the salty, meaty, earthy flavours are all announcing themselves confidently. The acid is prominent but the mouthfeel is amazing. Punching hard but without weight. +2-3pts in 10yrs. Yum

Bigger fruit than other vintages. Still amazing.
