- This opens very slowly and is full of powerful, dark scents. Licorice, earth, a touch of roasting coffee bean and roast meat notes dominate the nose. In the mouth this is taut and focused with excellent weight and depth though the lovely blackberry fruit notes are embedded in penetrating minerality and the wall of very fine grained tannins keep everything in check. Needs time but seriously good St. Joseph 90pts

- Deep ruby. Open-knit, lush aromas of raspberry and strawberry preserves, accented by exotic gingerbread and mocha. Explosively sweet and lush, with creamy red berry flavors and a fine, dusty mineral undertone. This has excellent concentration and persistence, finishing on a vivid raspberry note, with a hint of smoked meat.
