Community Tasting Note

srh Likes this wine:

Saturday, March 2, 2019 - Northern Rhone Reds (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): "From a steep, high altitude plot in Saint-Jean de Muzols – the HEART of the original Saint-Joseph; 100% hand harvested & destemmed; Aged in older Burgundy barrels (provided by DRC); Unfined"

N: CLOSED, but seems ripe, poss with some pyrazines? Intensity lurking?

P: LM body; Rndish entry with NICE, ALMOST swtish frt met by an astringent pucker which PRETTY much resolves by the very LONG finish with a tangy/swtness to the dusty tannins. For now, IF one can handle the mid-P, then drinking for 4 yrs more. My EXC, poss EXC/EXC+ -- particularly IF one desires a flavorful wine for... N-O-W. 3*(*)/5 drinkrhone.com ; [This vendor's $31.95 is currently at THE top of wine-searcher's currently VERY short list.]
