Tasting notes
A wine that’s already on the market, the medium to full-bodied 2013 St Joseph sports a ruby color and outstanding notes of blackberries, currants, olive and a hint of violets. It’s shed a good portion of the baby fat it showed from barrel and needs 2-3 years of bottle age, but will evolve for a decade after that.

Inky ruby. Ripe blackberry, olive paste and smoky Indian spices on the deeply perfumed nose. Lush, spice-accented black and blue fruit flavors are brightened by a peppery quality and a hint of candied violet. Closes sappy, sweet and very long, gaining shape and grip from fine-grained tannins. In a fairly dense, rich style for the vintage, and built to age.
Firm and fresher than Guigal’s 2013 Crozes. Quite a bit of tannin and less flesh than the Crozes. Good appellation expression underneath. (JR)
