Domaine Blachon
St. Joseph Syrah
So this was good to go with a decant. Had half the bottle then had to leave town...returned 5 days later and this was amazing! Smooth lush seamless. Sometimes oxygen is your friend.

Oct 9th, 2022Seductive nose with a clear peppery tingle. Good dark syrah fruits with some licorice. Pretty acidity keeps it lively and characterizes the northern part in this Rhône. The wine finishes pretty long and shows minerality. A treat and ‘only’ 12 years old.
