The 2021 opens with a shimmering ruby hue and a bouquet of vibrant red and blue fruits; think raspberry, blueberry and black cherry; layered with violet, incense, olive tapenade and baking spices, topped by a smoky-mineral top note. On the palate it’s medium-bodied yet taut, built around fine, velvety tannins and vivid acidity. The flavours evolve gracefully from black raspberry and bitter cherry to subtle floral pastille, peppery herbs and a lingering thread of black pepper and saline minerality. With its elegant structure, this Jamet is designed to evolve beautifully over the next decade or more.
