Domaine Habrard (Laurent Habrard)
"Sainte Epine" St. Joseph Syrah
Northern Rhône, Rhône, France
A stunning wine. Just stunning. In the red fruited elegant yet deep and velvety style of a great St. Epine. Deep nose or plush red and black berries, mashed flowers, crushed granite and loads of spice. Terrifically complex nose. Palate just has the purest sweetest fruit you can imagine. That classic Habrard purity and explosiveness. So deep sappy yet beguilingly fresh and dense. A drop dead St. Jospeh. Such power and concentration knit in velvet. Beautiful tannins.
