I feared the worse for this but it was perfumed heaven. Slightly tart and green but with plenty of crunchy berry fruit. The tannins are so fine now all in perfect balance with that touch of rusricity I love in these wines. 13% too. What's not to like?!
Superb stuff.

Black fruits, tarry, perfumes and herbal. Really focused and beginning to open up. Had that lovely fragrant chewyness you get with st joseph.
Still slightly tight yet it's persistent. Still perhaps a touch green and austere with the fruit fighting to get to the fore a little.
