  Nose blueberry and blackberry with some roast meat and a bit of garrigue and anise. Hints of floral -?almost lavender. Palate is nicely balanced with plenty of acid supporting deep blue fruit. Long fruit driven finish. Mineral structure there tannins resolving but still moderately young. Not showing a hint of age yet. A very well made “clean” st Joseph with considerable power but not at all overdone. For a larger producer, remarkably well made and great attention to detail. These guys don’t screw up great fruit with excess oak. Thankful for that. Wish I had more.

  Medium purple, clean and intense aromas of pepper, fennel, oak, animal, farm, herbs, on the palate high acidity, tannins in check, lots of sour cherry, very nice! Rough like a st joseph should be

  Consistent with previous notes. Needs a few hours of air but is splendid. Drink 2019-2024. Technical score: 92. Enjoyment score: 92.

  Pnp and poured through a vinturri(while waiting for the Pacquiao-Matthysse fight and viewing the undercards). Medium ruby-crimson in colour; nose of ripe raspberries and blackberries with some touches of lavenders and violets and a hint of black pepper. On the palate, there are tarty cherry and blueberry pies with some dark tobacco; some anise is detected. Medium bodied with a medium+ finish. Compared from the earlier tns, I believe this has finally opened up and is ready for business.
