What a lovely aroma this Saint-Joseph has. It offers nuanced notes of ripe fruit, fresh fruit, violet, and woody tones. On the palate, the wine combines fullness, freshness, and intensity, supported by subtle oak that rounds out and beautifully softens the delicate tannins. It certainly has aging potential. A wine to keep in the cellar for those with patience.
