Excellent, classic St Joseph. 13% alc. Colour: deep red berry, cloudy Bouquet: pepper, rich plum fruits black olives, vanilla, violets Palate: just as bouquet, very rich and full bodied, black coffee, leather, smoked venison, liquorice, uplifted acid, big soft drying tannins, very long finish. Superb style, ready now. February 2019

From cellar, stored since release Single piece cork, no seepage #3646 Tasting very primary right now but developing in the right direction. Nose of violet and a bit of black pepper. Palate: tannins smoothing out over time and tartness subsiding. Red berry fruit still at the fore, with violets and a bit of savoury spice on the finish. Will still benefit from a 45 minute decant. Drink or hold to 2026. 13%abv

Huge nose of raspberry, smoked meat, and black pepper. The raspberry takes over on the palate, with judicious smoked venison and pepper playing a supporting role. Nice mouthfeel.
