Agree with the prior notes to this wine. Although I think it may be a year or so past its peak. My bottle seems a bit tired, oxidised, and lost of what it used to be, The fruit is gone but the intensity is still there.

This is a full-on style of St Joseph. Quite intense nutty and mineral flavours, with a strong spicy (oak?) and slightly warm finish. Enjoyable enough, but I wonder if there is too much showing too soon, at least for my taste. vg
