May 23, 2022 - Eðalklúbburinn rúllar um Rónardalinn.; 5/23/2022-5/27/2022 (10 vínhús og ein súkkulaðigerð heimsótt í norður og suður Rónardalnum.): Nú kom Pierre með tvær gamlar flöskur frá St. Pierre. Sú fyrri, 2006 var úr flösku sem hafði verið opnuð áður. Mjög flottur ilmur í virkilega góðu jafnvægi. Mjög mikil mýkt á tungu. Þroskað. Lítill ávöxtur en engir öldrunartónar. Þægilegt vín.

November 6, 2017 - Initially still marked by the heavy oaking, but it gets better and better in the glass; the last glass is quite a full blown Syrah, very elegant, smooth, modern, but with a fine local personality. Drinks well, but no hurry whatsoever.

November 29, 2016 - Très joli St Joseph, alliant finesse et allonge, dans l'élégance et la puissance retenue. A la couleur encore flamboyante, il ne fait pas son âge, ni au nez encore fruité et plein de gourmandise. Cassis, violette, pointe d'Olive et de subtile tapenade, traces viandées-cuirées, épices douces, touches boisées ponctuelles, il embaume le verre!
L'attaque est plutôt caressante, puisque les tanins sont d'une grande finesse et le milieu de bouche ample et sensuel. Je m'attendais à plus de dureté, peut-être a cause de son patronyme, alors qu'en fait, il resserre subtilement en finale sans aucune âpreté, sans aucune vulgarité.
Pour avoir gouté un 09 récemment, c'est une cuvée a garder absolument 7/10 ans en cave. Son boisé et sa matière necessitent bien cela pour se fondre et s'homogénéiser. Par moment sur ce 2006, on sentait l'élevage un peu moderne de certaines cuvée ambitieuse, mais jamais il ne prenait le dessus. Raisins et terroir prenaient le dessus pour offrir un très beau St Joseph luxuriant et raffiné. -
