(JASMIN Cote Rotie) Cote Rotie Dear Friends, I feel like I’ve been waiting for a decade or more for Jasmin to make a Cote Rotie this special - in 2005 he finally delivered on a promise that has been so close so many times. This wine has everything a Cote Rotie enthusiast could ask for - it is terroir focused, pure, coated in minerality and full of the smoky Syrah tone that only comes from the slopes above Ampuis. It should age beautifully. I had this wine tonight for the second time in the last three weeks (the first time was the first night of my trip when I found it on a store shelf in Paris and it was excellent) - the winery bottle I had tonight was even better than the bottle I had in Paris - it cemented the notion of how good Jasmin’s 2005 really is...and the price is still within reason for Cote Rotie: This wine is not readily available in the US. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ONE SHIPMENT ONLY directly from the source with perfect provenance 2005 Jasmin Cote Rotie (IWC90-93) Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Rhone8310
