Tasting notes
Black cherries, some loam-like earthy notes and a hint of smoked meat mark the nose of Guigal's 2019 Saint-Joseph. Showing a bit more complexity now than it did prior to bottling, it's medium to full-bodied, smooth and silky, ready to drink yet capable of holding for up to a decade post-vintage.

From the southern part of the appellation and brought up all in used oak, the 2019 Saint Joseph is another ripe, sunny, textured beauty. Red and black fruits, ground pepper, and spice as well as medium-bodied richness and sweet tannins all make for a terrific Saint-Joseph. It will keep for a decade as well.
Dark, brilliant ruby. Pungent black raspberry and cherry aromas are complemented by floral, olive and baking spice nuances. Smooth and expansive on the palate, offering spice-tinged red and blue fruit preserve, licorice and allspice flavors that show fine delineation and mineral lift. Juicy and subtly chewy in texture, finishing with resonating blue fruit and spice character; tannins slowly emerge.
