Guy Farge - St-Joseph Gourmandise 2012
This Saint-Joseph, initially reserved, opens up with exposure to air, revealing a rich and indulgent character where floral and ripe notes mingle with a spicy freshness: peony, cherry, and raisins in alcohol, paprika, chocolate, and tobacco. The palate is warm, developing its fullness and indulgent character on a solid texture where the tannins are both robust and well-rounded. A truly beautiful wine!
