  Wood is way too present with vanilla notes. Fruit is present but right now the wood is dominating.

  Wow, what a wine. I picked up a sealed six-pack plus one bottle. So, I left the single bottle in the car when I put the six-pack in the cellar. It was pretty warm outside, but I thought nothing of it. When I got home, I was surprised that the bottle was very warm and leaking. Well, I decided to PnP the warm wine, and to my surprise, it was amazing. Having spent 40 months in new oak, I found it was well-integrated and had loads of dark fruit. I decanted the rest in the fridge to cool it down, then passed out and forgot about it. Woke up and found the decanter in the fridge. So, I thought I would give it a go later in the day. And I did, and it was just as good as it was the night before. It just seemed like the tannins came through, but in a good way. If you can get your paws on a couple of bottles, do so, and you will be happy. I just picked up three more bottles. I see now why Jeb updated his score (3/28/2024), and it went up a couple of points, and he was flirting with using words such as perfect wine or pinnacle.

  Rien de moins qu'un Saint-Joseph spectaculaire !
  Le nez est absolument merveilleux, concentré et profond.
  En bouche, c'est soyeux, d'une grande finesse avec ses notes de creme de cassis et son grain de tannin ultra fin.
  Un potentiel énorme d'ici 5-7 ans mais il est déjà superbe.
  Grand vin !
