Very ripe but very Rhone-ish. Etoh sticks out a bit, but other than that this was pretty perfect for its level. WOTN at a casual dinner with some pdb Riservas.

Opaque, deep red colour with red brim. Nose is rich, enticing, complex, fruity and peppery, with notes of bramble, raspberries, white pepper, charcuteries, juniper wood and a touch of vanilla, licorice and black olives. Mouthfeel is plush, generous, full bodied, packed with young peppery fruit, with smooth tannins, nice acidity and notes of bramble, white pepper, juniper wood, smoked meat and just a touch of vanilla.
This is obviously still very young, but has tons of potential. An outstanding Saint-Joseph that will easily compete with many Côte-Rôtie.
