Patrick Jasmin
la Giroflarie Cote Rotie Syrah
Côte-Rôtie, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Red plum, some black fruits, tomato, light cocoa, peppery. Rustic, strong red berry acids, salty, a touch of astringency, an evergreen herbal quality. A little bit flat on the finish

Pop and pour yesterday. On the counter unrefrigerated overnight. On the nose: cola, pine needle, blackberry, olive, and a kiss of florality. On the palate: lovely acidity, and thinner on the palate than the nose suggests: olive brine, blackberry...lovely zip and a nice savory/sweet finish with soft tannin.
Ok. This is a Jasmin, and I know it's a crime to open this wine so young: my 05-07s are just starting to really unfurl, but I had to get a taste to see what this cuvee is about. I have no doubt this will improve immensely with age, since the pieces seem to be in place.
