Tasting notes
A beautiful Cote Rotie, Jasmin's 2009 Cote Rotie offers classic cassis and black raspberry fruit to go with complex violets, spring flowers, olive and hints of pepper and meatiness. A medium to full-bodied effort, it has outstanding richness and depth as well as fine tannin and nicely integrated acidity, all of which come together beautifully on the finish. It's not a heavy weight, and while already approachable today (and I thoroughly enjoyed this bottle), it should be at its best from 2016-2024.

Light and fresh. Clean and lively. Very neat. Delicate. But chewy on the end. (JR)
Deep ruby. Sexy, floral-accented aromas of red and dark berry preserves, star anise and black pepper. Broad, palate-staining black raspberry and violet flavors are lifted by zesty minerality and show no excess weight. Finishes bright and nervy, with youthful tannic grip, excellent persistence and impressive focus. By all means give this wine some air or more bottle age.
Glass-staining purple. Deep, pungent nose combines black raspberry, Asian spices, flowers and cola. Sappy, seamless and sweet, with lively mineral character and sweet dark fruit and violet pastille flavors. This focused, youthful wine is quite elegant, finishing with appealing spiciness, a dusting of silky tannins and a distinct floral element.
