Had at restaurant in Menerbe, FR. Flabby, no lasting finish and not interesting. The most strange SJ I’ve had and not worth remembering - not what you expect from SJ. — 4 days ago

Had in Paris at rustic steakhouse. Delegate and elegant. Lighter in body with acidity, tannins and fruit at med/light levels. Pleasant drinking wine of red fruit. Liked and easy drinking - balance is highlight but muted. — 8 days ago

Had in Portland, OR at Coquine. Winemaker drafts many different types of varietals - even whites and reds - and let’s everything grow naturally. It was dark, robust and very complex - reminded me of inky of sophisticated great Saint Joseph. — 17 days ago

Strikingly complex while also med/light in body with good amount of red fruit. Med/dark in color and bits of spice, earth, red fruit and smoke and vanilla I love is present. Palate is 80/20 red fruit / black fruit. Built to age - had some 10 hours later and still enjoyable to drink.

Son of winemaker took over and is implementing new world process. Some whole cluster, less oak, more fruit. Wine specialist at restaurant in Beaune said would be a big deal in years to come...
