Domaine Bernard Gripa
St. Joseph Syrah
Classic vintage and classic wine. Nose of cassis, deep berry fruit, smoke, menthol, granite, complex and forward. Giving. Palate is juicy and ripe, concentrated with great acidity and freshness. Really lovely energy and freshness here. Hasn’t aged a bit. Terrific ripe tannins and deep structure. Elegant. Has 20 years ahead of it. Good today. Much better 3-5 years.
