Saint-Joseph Syrah

Deep Ruby with aromas of black fruits and sweet floral spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry, plum and cherry with herb spice, licorice and black pepper. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, espresso, smoky spice and mineral character.

This is hitting the spot tonight. Probably because I'm back in my own home with my lovely wife. But, the wine is super pleasant. At 12 years, this Syrah shows bright red fruit, apple skins, a little herbal spice, and a touch of tar on the back end. It's very good, and probably in its prime.

So thin, it's barely there. Tannins are all gone. This 11 year old is predominantly sour cherry and cranberry, with a bit of apple peel and gravel. But it's super soft. I'm glad I opened this, I think she's hitting her prime.
