Really delicious St Joseph. Decanted just about 1 hour which worked well. Wonderful deep dark berry fruit with some nice minty herbaceous notes along with a slightly briney finish. Nice lifting acid and well balanced. Perfect pairing with a cassoulet on a cold winter Sunday. — 4 years ago

Beautiful, expansive and waxy nose. Beautiful aromas. Nutty but also vibrant and mineral. Palate is focused like a laser. Wonderful complexity already with gorgeous delineation and oh so much minerality. Just popped and a little bit out of sorts but I fully expect it to fill out. Terrific value. Wow. Long finish. — 11 years ago

I love her style. Ballerina style St. Joseph. Ripe dark fruits, some game, some blackberry, camphor and dried flowers. Gorgeous and evocative nose. So juicy and silky with terrific silky tannins and great depth. 13's are in a great place now. Much fuller than on release. Good balance and purity and terrific concentration and freshness. — 9 years ago

Nose is a bit bretty out of the gates but blows off after 5 minutes. Some leather, black olive and salty minerals. Some nice florals develop and after some coaxing after the Brett integrates. Nose is really nice eventually. Super intriguing intense minerality. Very unique. Palate is complex, elegant and very juicy with an intense mineral core. Terrific freshness and purity. Still a bit young initially but with air this fleshes out. Tannins are firm which ensure this many years ahead of it. — 9 years ago
