1998 Domaine Jamet Cote Rotie, Rhone, France
93 Points - Wine Spectator
“Beautiful round, smooth, rich and seductive Côte-Rôtie. Distinctively meaty (with a grilled steak aroma) and floral, black currant and blackberry notes. Full-bodied, with a long and vibrant finish.” (PM)
92 Points - Wine Advocate
“The 1998 Cote Rotie exhibits a deep, opaque plum/garnet color, and a smoky, fried meat, blackberry/cassis-scented bouquet with notions of earth and licorice. A classically proportioned effort, with full body, superb ripeness, high tannin, and layers of concentration and extract, this is not a Cote Rotie for those unable to defer their gratification. It needs time in the bottle.” (RP)
