Astonishing right out of the bottle. Gorgeous Northern Rhône nose of green and black olive, granite, blackberry, red currant and wild Syrah perfume. But the story is the tannins. My God. The refinement here is insane: molten, elegant, seamless tannins that melt across the palate with ridiculous class. So drinkable, so pure, so balanced, with deep fruit, granitic freshness and a long, graceful finish. This is my favorite Saint-Joseph, and it is drinking beautifully already. — 11 days ago

Most like the 2006, rounded texture due to age and ripened fruits with an edge of oxidation on the good side — a year ago

Earthy, terroir nose. Opened nicely. Palette- enjoyable , long finish, medium tannins . After one hour, improved, earthiness is a nice change from Napa cabs. — 4 years ago

Really quite nice once you gave it some air. A bit stiff on its own but great with the robust flavors of the the Pinot Noir short ribs we had. — 6 years ago

Gorgeous clay-like nose. Juicy and dense, with insane tannin management, gorgeous granite, acidity, velvet texture, freshness and unreal energy. So, so sick. — a month ago

Tertiary flavours, cherry and cedar wood notes. Really opened up after a long decant. With lamb shoulder. Yum! — 7 months ago

I have FINALLY tried wine from the rare Humange Rouge grape, grown deep in the Swiss Alps, and it did not disappoint.

Black cherry and Cranberry to start before settling into a herbal and lightly mineral finish. The way it twists from one into the other is beautiful. — 10 months ago

A nice, smooth French Syrah from the Hermitage appellation. Heavy yet smooth with that luscious mature red fruit - tobacco ending with a hint of chocolate that presents as a “fruity” old world French red. Pair with a meal or cheese…Great glass! — 5 years ago

9.1

A big and opulent Grenache based wine. Medium ruby color with a thin pink meniscus. Aromas of ripe red fruit, dusty earth, smoky oak and exotic spices. Flavors of raspberry, red plum and ripe strawberries, red and black licorice, orange zest and a bit of vanilla. Hint of minerality on the long and bright finish. Smooth tannins and vibrant acidity. Full bodied and lively. Well structured and bold. Excellent Côtes du Rhône-Villages. — 6 months ago

Tough Hermitage competition last night and it ranked slightly behind top producers JL Chave and Jaboulet (La Chapelle). Not quite as long and explosive, but who’s to complain — 2 years ago

Sept 28, 2019. J2’s 5th bonus year celebration. Found this rare grape at our small town local grocery (???). My first Chatus experience. Lovely. Deep red, almost black in color. Tart cherries, nice finish. — 7 years ago
