  this is starting to show its age, developing a slightly 'cooked' edge to it - still, a remarkable bottle of St Joseph - I would be inclined to drink any remaining bottles soon

  Superb wine, drinking at its peak now. Beautiful fruit with such a long taper. Complex nose which has a mixture of fruit and forest floor. a delight to drink

  Tonight a bit more fruit than previous note....
  Nose initially had a little barnyard that disappaited over a 3 hour decant....meaty, leather, white pepper, cassis nose....
  On the palate it’s mouth coating goodness...
  Good deep raspberry,blackberry fruit with loads of pepper and great balance of minerality.....finishes long with pepper notes and fruit intermingled...This wine is why I tend to favor French over California..
  Terroir and balance between fruit and other flavors is exemplary...
  The nose alone is a dead giveaway for a NRhone vs Cali Syrah...
  Great wine...

  Nose is light barnyard , gamey meat, rubber?, dark fruit...
  Cherry plum, herbs, with a nice complexity to the finish and mouth feel...
  This wine begs for better descriptors than I can deliver tonight..
  Absolutely delicious and great...

  Medium to dark red; black pepper, dark fruit; rounded, intense, deep, black cherries, some sweetness, a bit abrupt slightly acidic ending but otherwise really nice
