  Bought for AU$40 on auction, the 2013 Yves-Cuilleron St-Joseph Les Pierres Seches is one of the best wines I've tasted at this price point this year. At the same time archetypal of the appellation, pleasurable, and structured, this is a knock-out on all fronts. On the nose, it delivers olive brine, red cherries, black cherries, forest floor, forest leaves, dried cranberry, thyme, some smokiness, and pepper. On the palate, it is elegant and mineral-driven, restrained by its 12,5% ABV, giving away blood and red fruits, beautifully balanced, with a lip-smacking dry and savoury finish.

  La robe est rubis / sanguin. Sur des arômes de violettes, de baies des bois rouges et noires, avec une pointe sanguine. La bouche est fraiche, délicate, avec une jolie matière légèrement satinée, grande souplesse des tanins, digeste au maximum, sapide... Excellent St-Joseph pour le prix est parfaitement à point! Produit dans le respect du terroir et de la nature.

  Le vin ressemble énormément au 2012, je dirais peut-être légèrement inférieur. Une belle Syrah fraiche, sur les fruits noirs, la violette, un boisé subtil et intégré, les tanins sont fins et assouplis, de longueur moyenne. Il va possiblement s'améliorer d'ici 1-2 ans. Très bien.

  After taking this note, I took a peak at my last TN from last year and it's pretty close to a cut & paste. Last bottle... the 13' definitely had an edge over the '14 vintage.
