PJA Côte-Rôtie "Les Jumelles" 2006

Paul Jaboulet Aîné Côte-Rôtie "Les Jumelles" 2006
c.48€; 13,5% abv. At first the aromas were pretty nice: game and olive. But it becomes rather more anonymous with air and the 15-20% new oak begins to show as a blueberry aroma. It seems a bit dilute despite sweet fruit; a bit soft structure. I wouldn't feel comfortable ageing this for long, though a couple more years I am sure will only do this good. But almost 50€ for this is absurd. Disappointing for the appellation and even more disappointing because of the price.
