97 points and 'Cellar Selection,' Wine Enthusiast: "Sure, this wine shows the effects of the hot summer in its slightly jammy raspberry flavors, but there’s also incredible complexity to complement the fruit intensity--Asian spices, tea, pepper and meat, to name just a few nuances. It’s all wrapped in a blanket of soft tannins, but stays fresh-tasting thanks to great minerality despite low acidity. Drink now-2030 or beyond. (Sep 2007)"
96 points Wine Spectator: "Terrific aromas of game, roasted plum and espresso lead into a ripe, full-throttle palate of black currant, fig and tar. Long and smoky, with a piercing minerality that comes through the dark, lush fruit and provides a riveting finish. Drink now through 2025. 175 cases imported. (10/15/06)"

94 points Jeb Dunnuck (Wine Advocate): "A gorgeous Cote Rotie that does everything right, Jamet’s 2003 Cote Rotie, which was harvested very late for the vintage, offers complex kirsch, framboise, incense, liquid flowers and spiced meat-qualities to go with a full-bodied, layered and seamless profile on the palate. Still youthful and lively, with fabulous density and concentration, this beauty can be enjoyed anytime over the coming 10-15 years. (Apr 2014)"
93 points Jeff Leve (The Wine Cellar Insider): "Light in color, the wine is medium-bodied, soft, elegant and earthy with a peppery, black raspberry, and red plum profile, close to full-developed, the finish is all about the red cherry and plum profile. Drink from 2022-2029. (Oct 2022)"
