    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    André Perret, St Joseph, Les Grisières, 2016

    A darker more complex profile than the regular St Joseph, structured but velvety, notes of bramble, cherry, pepper spice and coal dust. Long, driving and beautifully textured. A sense of composed and focused power. Superb. A blend of old Syrah vines in the commune of Chavanay in the north part of St Joseph near Condrieu. Made from 100% de-stalked Syrah and aged in 20% new oak barriques usually for 15-16 months.

    Josh Raynolds, Vinous
    Deep, brilliant violet. Smoke-accented black and blue fruits, potpourri, exotic spices and licorice on the assertively perfumed, expansive nose. Appealingly sweet, mineral-accented cassis and blueberry flavors show impressive depth and pick up a sexy floral quality with aeration. Displays sharp detail and mineral lift on the gently tannic, highly persistent finish, which features reverberating blue fruit and floral notes. I actually marginally prefer this wine to its excellent 2016 sibling. All whole clusters.
