How did this sneak in here? Considering our penchant for the Rhône, it’s almost inevitable that something like this was getting opened. Popped and poured, the 1997 “La Turque” pours a deep ruby/purple color with a slightly hazy, near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with significant staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe slightly wizened black and ted fruits: black brambles, black cherry, strawberry, smoked and spiced meat, olives, purple flowers, black pepper, dried herbs, rocky earth, fine wood and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. While this may not be my favorite expression of Côte Rôtie, it is undeniably delicious after nearly 30 years. It still has a long life ahead. Drink now through 2042. — 13 days ago

Great as usual! Decanted this wine but might not have needed it. 2021 was a lower tannin more supple vintage. Classic Jamet aromas of lavender and charcuterie, great acidity and moderate tannin — 7 days ago

La mouline to finish. Good lineup for the night. Dalforno1st, piano 2nd, la mouline3rd, lambrays 4th, gonon 5th. Problem they are all excellent so difficult to put a rating. Good birthday. — 7 days ago

Lacked some savory notes to its benefit. More Guigal than C-R. — 14 days ago

Muscular and meaty. Well made. Still primary but drinkable. — 17 hours ago

En mag. So young, still. Even more primary than the 07 from 750 two days ago. Clove, cardamom, dusty cocoa and medium tannin. — 4 days ago

Another great vintage showing a polished, silky texture with black cherry, berry fruit, graphite, incense, licorice, olive, mineral & violets. Open, balanced that you can enjoy now — a month ago
