Domaine Bernard Gripa
St. Joseph Syrah
In the typical classic Mauves style. Think Pauilllac. Gorgeous nose. Sappy granite and dark berry fruits. Incredibly mineral. Deep oozy black berry fruit but backed up by intense minerals. Palate cuts a swath and has serious density, structure and ample tannin but at the sacrifice of freshness or finesse. These are not meant to be drunk young ideally. If so always decant 2-3 hours no matter the vintage.

Feb 3rd, 2020Plums & pomеgranate, cherry stone, burried flowers & youngster undebrush. Dense and layered, a bit oaky on day one but no hint of it on day three. Plush, voluminous body, med+ weight, ripe - 2015 - but remains fresh, nicely extracted. Succulent.
