Domaine des Remizieres "Cuvee Emilie" Hermitage 2001

Deep, slightly evolved, red.

Vinturi - licorice, mint, raspberry coulis, date, earth nose.

Round, mouth-filling. Texturally quite different from the Cote Roties. Reasonably fine-grained tannin more evenly matched with acidity. Resulting chew hits front teeth but does not shut the mouth down. Another "modern" approach to N. Rhone Syrah that works on a textural level, but leaves a bit to be desired in the complexity department. Will it develop additional complexity with more time in bottle? Maybe. Not at all convinced. Today the Jamet rules.
