  • Decanted for about 1 hour. Intense purple, no sign of bottle age.Nose: farmyard with high notes of parma violets. Deep earthy on the palate with peppery strawberries, long, still tannic but smoothly so. Still hace planty of bottle ageing potential.

  • Beau St Jo qui pourrait être pris pour une côte rôtie: beaux tanins fins, fraîcheur de la Syrah, complexité...
    Nez (finement) viandé, légères touches de tapenade, mûre, violette, du très classique rhodanien tout en finesse, et même si l'on retrouve quelques traces boisées, l'ensemble s'avère savoureusement évolué. La tendresse du millésime se ressent aussi bien en bouche, le toucher est fin et frais, j'aime ce profil étiré qui a su défier les ans.

  • Great nose, very smokey, savoury, meaty and spicy with ripe cherries, leather. Well balanced and complex on the palate with good length and freshness... Should still improve. Drink from 2016.
