dark cherry and pretty spice wisps

This shows mature notes

The depth here is nothing short of mind blowing and this is clearly a notch up from the 2000 if not quite as promising as either the ’98 or the ’99

Best from 2013 through 2024

Chapoutier, Saint-Joseph Clos Size:6x750ml dark cherry and pretty spiceOpaque ruby. Dark berries, violet oil, anise and smoky minerals on the deeply scented now. On the palate, intense blueberry and blackberry flavors become spicier with air and show very good clarity. Opens up nicely on the spicy, expansive finish, which is firmed by youthfully chewy but harmonious tannins. Josh Raynolds
