Great St. Joseph, but shut down compared to when I tasted in 2018. Needs another 5. Black pepper, blackberry, violets.

Juicy polished sublime. Syrah but Burgundy in spirit.

Ruby, aged for 10 months in French oak (1-4 years old), aromas of dark berry fruits and floral notes. On the palate flavors of black cherry and blackberry with licorice and herb notes. Tight tannins, bright acidity, long finish ending with ripe fruit and herb spice character. Nice!

Magenta in the glass - subtle game and olive notes - tart blue and black fruit driven with a candied overall impression. Stemmy aromas in background.

Gorgeous, fragrant nose of roastingamb, roses, and Moroccan spices. Lush classic Syrah on the palate and acidity for days.

16/20 (90/100)

Очень приятный, сложный ягодный аромат, с доминантой малины, ежевики, черники, полно, богато. Молодо и свежо во вкусе, с суховатыми танинами, очень симпатично.
