Tasting notes
Brilliant ruby. Bright and focused on the nose, displaying spice- and mineral-tinged red berry, cherry and floral scents that pick up smoke and cracked pepper nuances as the wine opens up. Juicy and light on its feet, especially given the vintage, offering sweet raspberry, cherry and lavender pastille flavors and a hint of salty olive paste. Fine-grained tannins add grip to a long, lively finish that echoes the olive and cherry notes.

In 2015, the cuvée name Giroflarie was applied to Jasmin's 'classique' Côte Rôtie, to distinguish it from a separate, more premium cuvée called Oléa. Surprisingly closed nose. There's a bit more aromatic range on the palate, but the structure is aggressive – very much too young in style, and struggles to show any sort of complexity. This is surely just at an awkward age.
