May 16, 2021 - P&P. Very classy for St Joseph. Fine, brassy, if perhaps straying a bit from terroir. Prolly near its peak

August 20, 2018 - Not sure what was up with this bottle. Perhaps it needed a decant or bigger glasses. It never really filled out over the course of an hour. Good but thin

Mouth - this wine slowly is opening with time, and has an attractive savory berry quality. Sadly I think I'm drinking it too early. Overall it's very pure and minerally, with an attractive licorice fruit component that is quite muted. Try again tomorrow -
