  Big, bright, floral, herbal, fruit forward. Excellent and youthful St. Joseph.

  No decant. Quite dark. At this early stage this wine is entirely informed by its fruit, which is simply the most beautiful expression of meticulously farmed fully ripe syrah. Smoke. Gently ferral - just a little funk on the nose. Dark berries. There must be adequate acid here, because the wine isn't at all flabby, but I didn't notice it. Tannins also are buried in fruit. 14.3%. Correct length but not more - though after an hour this seems to have more persistence. And the thoroughly ripe tannins also do show up on the back end by the second glass, taking up residence on the gums. Everything suggests this needs time - seven years perhaps. A decant might blow off the slight funk (though this persisted to the next day) but the structural components of the wine are so covered in fruit they don't really need it. There is today a softness to the wine because the architecture is so thoroughly covered. This fabulous fruit alone is worth the price of admission and if you want a rush of beautiful ripe young syrah and are Ok with the slight notes of roadkill this is the wine for you. But I would wait, because I always do. My first Monier Perreol.
