Domaine Jean-Claude Marsanne
Saint-Joseph Syrah
Bold nose of purple flowers, blood, & blackcurrants. Bacon fat and black olive. Floral and meaty on the palette. Loads of structure left. Great stuff.

Apr 19th, 2020A great wine. Love this estate’s classic, feral, gamey St. Jo’s. Wild and pretty nose. Very floral, gamey and with nice lift but also very broad. Awesome. Superb aromas. Palate is ripe and meaty, with velvety and sweet tannins and lovely freshness and acidity. Terrifically put together abs very compact with exquisitely pure fruit. Finishes long and peppery with granitic crunch. Wonderful.
