Ahhhhh. 21 N Rhône. I will drink 12.5% Syrah all day. Glorious. Needed an hour in the decanter and then it slayed. Meaty, floral, and so so fresh. — 5 days ago

Really tasty mix of grenache and syrah. Spiced, but definitely taste the fruitiness over all else. Lovely smell. Definitely a wine that we could drink regularly. Had this in Denmark. — 8 months ago

For me the current best wine in St. Joseph. Just a stunning stunning expression of St. Jo. Nose is insane. The most detailed olives ever. Just gorgeous. Also herbs de Provence and so much granitic intensity. Also dark flowers. Dark blueberry fruit and dark berry fruit. Just so deep, intense and utterly brilliant. I love this wine. Wow that palate. So so elegant and juicy and with achingly beautiful finesse. My god this is so delicate and I am sorry but this has more elegance than. Gonon. Just wow. The concentration is off the charts and my goodness the inner mouth olive flavors intermingled with wild mint are to die for. Unreal refined and classy tannins and is juicy, balanced and perfect. Wow. Can’t wait to see what air does. 9.8 for now. With some short term air the nose is just crazy. So complex and floral. So sleek and juicy and man those tannins are all class. The quality of the fruit is exquisite! — 3 months ago

This is a great, simple chenin from Savennières that I like to taste once in a while. We had it along with a raclette (yes I know, again) and it was a great pairing.
Green apple, honey, wax, a touch of lemon too. The palate shows a massive acid drive, but it's not just fresh, there is some width and matter to go with it. Lemon juice and green apple touches that caress the tongue play around the acid drive and build up in the rear, before a long and fresh finish with the same fruit touches and a tiny waxy note in the very end. Chenin is well deserving all the recent rave, really. — 10 months ago

Chardonesk-like varietal native to The Northewestern Iberian peninsula… Pale lemon on the eye with aromas of green pear, smith granny apple, but also hints of white flowers and rosemary. The palate is very similar to a high quality White Burgundy: medium body, medium alcohol, silky, creamy, with refreshing citrus like acidity and a lingering oaky-smoky-vanillish finish… Over the top for my expectations and budget. Cheers! — 3 months ago

Nose : graphite. Blackberry. Beautiful.

Palate: blackberry. Blueberry. Lovely finesse. Dry Good texture. Delicious. A bit of Fresh sweet green olives. It flits in and out.

As this opens the lavender comes out. Bloody gorgeous.

As this opens waaaay more elegant and less blueberry juice.

This needs an hour. Pop and pour and you are missing elite st jo. — a year ago
