Patrick Jasmin, Cote Rotie 2007

No score given - CellarTracker Member What a wonderful treat! This was pure Côte-Rôtie, textbook Côte-Rôtie. There is unique pleasure in tasting just that. I have no interest in deciding if it is the best Côte-Rôtie I have had, or the best Jasmin, or the best 2007 Côte-Rôtie, or the best Jasmin 2007 Côte-Rôtie. Nor do I care if it is less good than other's of those categories. What matters is that is is a real Côte-Rôtie. I have had recently a 2004 Barbaresco from a good producer from a good MGA and it did not taste like a Bararesco. I have had a 2006 Brunello di Montalcino from an average producer that did not taste like a Brunello. It appears that the recent people reporting on this wine feel similarly. They express themselves in their own ways. We do not get to taste a Côte-Rôtie very often. If you want the real thing here is an example. It is mature enough to be able to taste that it is. 4/1/2022
