Domaine Blachon
Cuvée Hommage Roger Blachon Saint-Joseph Syrah
An incredibly well structured wine. An absolute beast. Bigger than some Hermitage I’ve had, even on day 2. Lots of herbaceous notes on this wine. Even with it being so big and structured, there is still very nice acidity. Very well made wine, especially for the price!

Jan 5th, 2018The worst kind of corked. Me: "it's corked"... Her: "no it's not, I smell fruit and pepper".... Me: "its corked, you can drink it"... 12 hours later, after work.... Her: "this wine smells like cardboard"...,Me: "I told you it was corked"

Jul 1st, 2017Great Saint Joseph for a stormy night. Crushed berries, sage, anise, tobacco. Fresh and bright but also rich and meaty. Really impressive-all the more so for the price.

Aug 28th, 2016Good #stjoseph - plum sauce, black fruit, some cured meat notes. Not much black olive notes. Nicely textured on palate, touch of spice - typical if not exemplary wine from this AOC.
