Domaine Jasmin Côte Rotie Olea Jasmin 2022

More spicy and with more notable oak, the 2022 Côte Rôtie Olia offers sunny red and black fruits, graphite, violets, and peppery nuances. It's medium-bodied and focused, with ripe, polished tannins and outstanding length. This tight, focused effort is 100% destemmed and co-fermented with 5% Viognier. It will need 2-4 years of bottle age and should have another 15 years of prime drinking. Drink 2028-2043.

The 2023 Côte-Rôtie Oléa lifts from the glass with pronounced wood smoke, ripe black cherry, pencil shavings and cedar tones. Full in measure and quite stimulating, the 2022 is a bold take on the appellation. Allow it at least five more years in bottle for all the different components to integrate.
