July 31, 2023 - Pnp with about 30 minutes of aeration before drinking. Opaque. Aromatically unmistakably Northern Rhone with the garrigue, violets, hint of iodine, crushed black fruit, incense, and smoked meats. On the palate this has a beautiful complement of juicy black fruits, energetic acidity, chewy yet fine tannins coating the salted meats, herb de Provence, and other dried herbs. Good length with fine balance with the wine evolving from attack to finish and nothing out of place. I have found many St. Joseph wines can be rustic and unbalanced, but not this bottle. Absolutely blows away a 2014 Chateau Gloria I had the day prior. Likely quite enjoyable through 2030 with the acidity and great fruit.
