This Jamet 2013 lacks flesh …
Good however (15,5/16), maybe more a slender St-Joseph than a sensual Côte-Rôtie.
I have a lot of this, bummer. And I really like the vintage overall.
Do you see the possibility of improvement over time or is that there is no “there there”. I have not thought to touch mine yet.
Clos des Papes red 2016 (18,5/20, hence future WOTY 2020) and Château de Beaucastel red 2016 (18/20) shined last saturday in an interesting grenache tasting (Châteauneuf vs Sierra de Gredos).
I wonder if this is just a matter or expectations, or preference. Jamet is almost never a “big” wine, always more elegant, even delicate relative to many Cote Rotie. I’ve only tasted the 13 a couple of times, but liked it quite a lot. I would give it a lot more time (like 10-15 years) before even thinking about judging it. I suspect it will scratch the Rougeard itch in its way then.
I recently had, the same evening, Clos des Papes 2013 and the Clos des Papes 2016 I mention above.
The vintage is effective, the 1993 appears more slender.
The Côte Rôtie Jamet is of course not the less delicate Côte-Rôtie. But it semt that 2013 was also effective (I have note tasted the Côte Brune 2013, normally more concentrated).
Do you mean Rougeard or Poyeux ou Bourg ?
PS : I rated the 2013 Côte-Rôtie Jamet 16,5/17 in 2018.
The context is important and I add that it was not a dinner but a long training tasting; it was served between Stefano Amerighi Cortona Apice 2013 (15,5/20) and a wonderful Stella di Campalto Rosso di Montalcino 2012 (18,5/20).
Malaga Jorge Ordonez n°2 Victoria 2016 : 17/20
An excellent concentrated, sweet, muscat d’Alexandrie.
Niepoort Moscatel Douro : 16,5/20
Apricot, marzipan, like in a white port. Madrid Maranones Pena Caballera 2011 : 16,5/20
Madrid Daniel Landi Cantos del Diablo 2011 : 17/20
I like this approach of grenache, in the Sierra de Gredos.
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Domaine de la Janasse Chaupin 2012 : 17/20
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Clos du Mont-Olivet Cuvée du Papet 2012 : 17/20 (wait)
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Clos du Caillou Réserve 2017 : 16,5/20
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Clos des Papes 2013 : 16,5/20
Interesting but the 2016 is much more promising. Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Gardine Cuvée de Générations 2015 : (16/20)
Oaky, concentrated, closed. The friend serving the wine evokes 20 years of cellaring
Vajra Barolo Coste di Rose 2015 : 16/20
Never tasted before this new cuvée. I expected a more sophisticated expression.
Il Colle Rosso di Montalcino 2016 : 15,5/20
Some strange sweetness. I recently prefered the Brunello 2013 (16,5/20).
Fernando Castilla Jerez Palo Cortado : 16,5/20
An interesting producer. Difficult to say, blind, if it is a Palo Cortado or an Oloroso.
Rivesaltes ambré Domaine de Rancy 1998 : 16/20
Maccabeu rancio. A producer I really like (the 1965, 1959, 1952, 1948 are venerable). You easily can imagine a 20 years tawny.
