Friday, Friends and Les Jalets


Pinot Guy and his wife have just moved into a new apartment. So, last night we headed over to their new pad to 'officially' be the first people that they have over for dinner. It was a great night; it was so good see their new place, catch up and unwind after a busy week. We laughed a lot last night! As well as good food, Pinot Guy also pulled out a bottle of 'Les Jalets'.

Paul Jaboulet Aine, 'Les Jalets' Crozes Hermitage, 2006, Tain L'Hermitage, France.

This was a dark, sultry wine. The nose was full of blackcurrant and spicy cherry. There were also elements of brambles, nettles, leather and cigar box.The palate was quite softer. Beautifully smooth with great length. The palate had more brambles and blackcurrant with a dusting of white pepper. 4.2/5 (12.5% abv)
