92 Points

Thursday, August 17, 2023 - 100% Syrah

Inky dark purple, opaque core, compact rim.

Aromatics show nice development after a couple of hours in the glass, expressing dark berries, smoke, fried bacon fat, white pepper and some cedary oak smell.

On the palate, the wine is dense and tannic. Medium to med plus body, dry. Again, palate shows lots of dark fruit, with savory black olive, Himalayan salt, new leather, game meat, sous bois, and some dark chocolate.

This is an amazing Saint Joseph for those who don't have the patience for Hermitage. It's ready but would recommend drinking this slowly over the course of 2-3 hours to allow the wine to develop in the bottle. I will hunt down for a couple of cases if I can. 92+
