Very nice, but needed air as it was all over the place initially. Very sharp fruit and almost a little bitter. 1h in it came into its own, building on its fruit with some added grit/funk and very finegrained tannin. Typical SJ, while maybe leaning towards elegance more that most peers. Drink or hold, but i think i will love this after 2028. Decided to stock up.

Purple red, young appearance in the glass
Classic syrah / St Joseph nose wit quite sweet black/blueberry and some spices.
Really Nice in mouth, good concentration and length - with very good balance and freshness
As usual a very good effort from Bernard Gripa, still very value for «entry level St Joseph»
