What a lovely aroma this Saint-Joseph has. Nuances of ripe fruit, fresh fruit, violet, and woody notes. On the palate, the wine combines fullness, freshness, and intensity, supported by subtle woodiness that rounds out and beautifully smooths the fine tannins. Definitely has potential. A wine to keep in the cellar for those who are patient.
