Opened an hour before serving, still slightly musty at first, then fresher another hour later. Black fruit with roasted meat hints and good balance, moderate depth. Started fading after open three hours.

Deep red, clear red edge, long moderate drops appearance. Smells of blueberry, ribena, blackberry, wood, tobacco, faint smoke, paraffin. Tastes of blackberry, lemon, wood, vanilla. Good fruit, clear acidity and integrated tannins. Works with food now, but can probably still handle years of storage.

Really enjoying this; plenty of smooth tannin complementing generous fruit. Not a scary St Joseph but a typically robust one but with personality. 2010 was a good year all around Northern Rhone, including St. Joseph apparently.

Ten St.Joseph and a couple of Cornas - blind tasting: (Tasted blind) This was a cuvee withouth SO2 "Sans soufre ajoute". Wow, very interesting, a bit dirty nose of pickle juice and what not. Very different from all other wines. Some pleasant sweetness. One of the most intriguing wines of the tasting. (A-)

Extreme over achiever. In a great place, but no rush.
