    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Serious and powerful but noble. Sinewy dark and red berry fruits with a fresh spiciness and smoky coal dust touches. A sapid and mineral quality adds life to the rich, layered fruit. There is a solid backbone to this, too; it promises to make old bones! A blend of 70-year-old Syrah vines in the commune of Chavanay in the north part of St Joseph near Condrieu. Made from 85% de-stalked Syrah (15% whole bunches were included in the 2017 for the first time) and aged in 20% new oak barriques usually for 16 to 18 months.

    Deep magenta. Juicy red and dark berry and floral scents are sharpened by smoky mineral and spice flourishes. Sappy and laser-focused on the palate, offering vibrant black raspberry, cherry and violet pastille flavors that are complicated by salty olive and cracked pepper flourishes. Fleshes out slowly with air while maintaining energy, finishing bright, spicy and extremely long, displaying sharp clarity, discreet tannins and resonating florality, this bottling makes its case for being one of the very best Saint-Josephs of this excellent vintage. Made with 20% whole clusters.
