Domaine Rousset
Saint-Joseph Syrah
St. Joseph, Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
Last had 2 years ago and the age has been good to this I think. Pours a deep inky indigo. Dark fruit and some olive brine with integrated but present tannins. Mouth coating. Nice acid and a long finish. Really quite delicious and certainly an excellent value.

Oct 28th, 2024Really nice. Could certainly go a few more years. But delicious with several hours open. Quite deep but balanced, perfect accompaniment for roasted chicken thighs with feta and olives.

Sep 18th, 2022A bit less together than the last bottle we had. Looking forward to trying in a few years. Still nice with some cassoulet on a cold rainy Sunday in dear old nyc.

Nov 16th, 2020Very nice St Joseph and a crazy value for the money. For now I’d recommend a 4+ hour decant; also going to send some to storage now for a few years. Deep beautiful red in the glass. Classic Rhône Syrah on the nose with deep restrained dark red fruit and olive. Finish is pure with good acid and medium tannins.
