Domaine Gerard Courbis
Vieilles Vignes St. Joseph Syrah
St. Joseph, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
This is in the zone as many 2020 N Rhone Syrahs are. 19’s are closed as well. Big blackberry, olives, mint and game. So aromatic and lush. Feral, sweaty and so classic. Love this wine. Palate is ripe, inky and rich but with awesome freshness and purity. Melty tannins and awesome depth. Needs some air but man is this in the zone. Wonderful.
After 2 hours this got so lush, so vivid and detailed with pottery, game, blackberry fruit and a pastille like texture. So compelling. 9.4 to 9.6.
