Domaine de la Côte Sainte-Epine
Vieilles Vignes St. Joseph Syrah
St. Joseph, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Just had 15 and it showed out of its mind and now the 18 which I haven’t had since barrel. Nose is brooding. Big ripe, plum, blackberry, boysenberry, liquer like aromas. Sense the richness of the vintage and the old vines. Superb granite, pepper and spice. So killer. Elegant, dense and substantial. So pure and juicy. Nimble even but you can tell there is a solid core of fruit and structure. Showing 50% of what it’s got now. I’ll be back. Solid 9.3 now.
Picking up density and richness while remaining fresh as a daisy. Ripe, substantial and generous tannins.

Blackberry, plum, cassis, gravel. Young, big and ripe at the moment, but interested to see where this goes with some age. Good value.
