Dinner with friends:

2001 Jamet, Côte Rôtie:
Considerable poop on the nose that dissipates over time but never disappears; not a rich wine but a full one with traditional northern Rhône flavors, good balance, some complexity and that certain “Jamet-ness” that I find hard to describe but easier to recognize. Nice wine.

1995 Jasmin, Côte Rôtie (magnum):
Cleaner on the nose but with less depth and breadth and a bit grippy on the finish; nonetheless, a wine of character and balance that never lets on forget its AOC.

1986 Heitz, Cabernet Sauvignon Martha’s Vnyd.:
All eucalyptus on the nose; the palate however, more than makes up for it with a truly supple delivery, exquisite balance, complexity and lovely fruit; good bottle bouquet and secondary character happening and a really extraordinary wine for about two hours. As the evening went on this started to fall apart but it was glorious while it lasted.

1992 Ridge, Merlot York Creek:
For all those who espouse that merlot is a “blending grape,” this is your come-uppance; bottle bouquet and secondary development evident; good fruit, complexity and balance and remarkable sustain. A delight to drink from first sip to last dregs.

Best, Jim
