Killing a young Jamet CR tomorrow. Should it be 18, 19 or 20?

WINE TALK

I’m going to be uncorking a Jamet Côte-Rôtie tomorrow for a friend who loves them and rarely gets to drink them. However, here in France I only own some 2018, 2019 and 2020. I haven’t tried any of those vintages yet. Anybody with experience with them and a desire to offer advice?

Based on @A_So notes, I was thinking 18.

I’ll probably also pop a 2014 Clusel-Roch Viallière and a bottle of champagne (either La Cuvée des Gentlemen from De Lozey or L’Intemporelle from Mailly).

Thanks!

2018 - It’s big but really delicious already, had one about 6 weeks back and it is both very ‘Jamet’ and also very ‘Cote Rotie’ if you know what I mean.

Any word on how the 2017 is also drinking comparatively?
