Domaine de la Côte Sainte-Epine
Saint Joseph Marsanne - Roussanne Blend
St. Joseph, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
This is the same wine just a new name. Gorgeous nose of gras, old dusty books, plantains, some spice and fresh woodshop dust Also some interesting umami notes. Wet earth as well. Just so complex and inviting. I love this wine. Wow what a palate. Rich and electric with a wonderful juxtaposition between richness and granitic freshness. Awesome texture and length. Really classy and wonderful wine. Terrific Marsanne minerals coming through now and awesome depth and concentration but still very nimble on the finish.

May 6th, 2024Killer nose. Plantain, mango, gras and granite. Floral as well and such nice penetrative aromas. Great aromatic depth. Classic 21 here with such zip, vim and vigor. Really fine acids and granitic freshness along with an airy palate with plantain and vanilla extract. Terrific thrust and energy and very complex finish. Air will fill this out. It is gaining tremendous elegance now with air. This really got so elegant with air and gained a granitic complexity. 9.2 to 9.3.
Wow this got insane overnight. Nose is just a granite bomb. some guava and pineapple but barely ripe. also lovely earth. Grippy, intense and so pure. Great complexity and concentration. Long and so so energetic. wow. 9.3 to 9.4.
