Deep Ruby with aromas of dark fruits, floral and meaty spice. On the palate flavors of raspberry, currant and sweet plums with smoky oak, rustic pepper spice and mineral with good acidity balance. Soft fine tannins, long finish ending with clean fruit and mineral ending. Will do well in cellar.

Just-ripe black fruit with an appealing tartness; mineral-forward, a little earthy and Bretty; licorice, coffee, and smoke. Medium-bodied, nimble, and well-balanced in its acid and tannin structure. Becomes more generous with air but retains a compact frame.

Really starting to enjoy the 2012s. This one is right in the wheelhouse. Does not lack power or depth but it is certainly not a dark or fruity wine. Lots of pepper, spice and bright red fruits. Played more like crozes rather than saint Jospeh. Great value

Yup. #SaintJoseph. We're in good hands boys. Substantial. Powerful. Acid and structure. Coulda held this one longer, but what the heck.

dark fruits, floral notes, spices, a hint of funk, still young but great aging potential. alcohol, acidity, body and oak well integrated. #stjoseph

Great QPR, the Delas Saint-Joseph François de Tournon Rouge 2011 displays baritone aromas of ripe plums, reduced blackberries, anise, wet embers, fruit cake and a a billowing smoky undertow on opening. It's equally glorious in the mouth, I especially like the interplay of tannins and acidity. It's well defined, black fruit bolstered by cedar and Garrigue, I'm enjoying it on its own, certainly, it has the potential to age over the next decade or so. Highly recommended.
