Tawny and almost opaque. Masculine heavy nose. Notes of black fruit, earth and iron. Rich and silky. Needed 4+ hours of air to open up. Light finish maybe representative of the vintage. Pretty good. No need to hurry on these. — 6 days ago

Still very young but showing the classic Jamet personality with notes of dark cherry & berry fruits, smoked meat, black pepper, olive, licorice spice & violets. Needs a few more years but should be a great vintage for Jamet. — 12 days ago

A stunning nose, wafts of deli-sliced ham mingling with ripe fruits, and a near-black dark color had me primed for a beastly wine - this did not disappoint. We opened it too early but all the elements are there: juicy plum, chalkboard, black pepper and soft tannins reminiscent of dark roast coffee. Looking forward to trying this again in a few years. — 12 days ago

The 2002 Guigal ‘La Turque’ is the finest Rhône wine that I have sampled from this challenging vintage. Flowering issues and problems obtaining phenolic ripeness plagued the N. Rhône in 2002 but the ‘La Turque’ was not lacking in richness. Black cherry, wild blackberry and huckleberry flavors connected with shades of iron and wet stone on the palate. Fresh and vibrant, this beautiful wine is drinking brilliantly now. Drink 2019-2029- 92 — 12 days ago

Layered, dense and gamey, black cherries, espresso, camphor, minerals, damp earth, hints of black pepper and finely integrated tannins. The finish is long and precise. — 6 days ago

Deep purple with medium intensity, developing aromas of grilled meat, smoke, blackberry, black pepper, mint, tar and forest floor. Dry, medium (+) acidity, medium tannins, medium (+) body, medium alcohol (13.5%).
Well-integrated flavors of blackberry, black plum, tar, mint, forest floor, black olive. Medium (+) finish. Very good quality - drink now but has potential for aging. Very approachable. — 15 days ago

Connectedness is great - earthy and leather front palate leads into high minerality & acidity and then finishes up with nice red fruit and white pepper. Great after an hour of decanting, but don’t wait too long as acid starts to dominate. — a day ago
