  December 3, 2014 - Guy's St Joseph Offline (RSJ, Coin Street, London): Deep ruby garnet. Nose again is slightly reticent showing black fruit and some bloody/iron notes. On the palate something of an austere style, with firm tannins, some attractive dark fruit and notes of soil and iron, slightly tannic on the good length finish. Decent if not compelling ***

  December 18, 2012 - Almost all the fruit is gone except for a little blackberry. Funk and graphite makes me think bordeaux. This absolutely needs to be paired with food - acids and tannins dominate so it's pretty unbalanced on its own and borderline unpleasant, but paired with a rich meal (we had pasta bolognese) this is really pretty good and the secondary flavors come out.

  December 28, 2009 - I was surprised that this St. Joseph had gone over the hill, but there really was no fruit left. Damn. However, it reduced down and added a nice touch to a duck sauce.

  May 14, 2006 - Pleasant syrah, a commune wine from Saint-Joseph; mostly syrah. Nice fruit, enjoyable, finish a bit thin
