There are two kinds of st Joseph. This is one of the good ones. Long finish. Complex. Quite serious. — 2 years ago

Beautiful Syrah on show here with aromas of blackberry, pickled dark cherry, black pepper, raw meat, olive brine, herbs and roses. Medium bodied with fine grainy tannins providing the framework. Finish is lacking somewhat — 10 years ago

Love the acid and style of this wine. Didn't quite stand up against the richer wines in this flight, but again it's is own animal. Lots of carbonic character. Day two it lost that primary effervescence and showed much more weight on the palate. Definitely the outlier in the group. Would like to see this with at least 5 years of age. — 10 years ago

Boom. Personally vibing with this one. Stiff minerality nicely opened and on the lower end of their French reds list. — 11 years ago

2020 vintage. You can't go wrong with Jaboulet these days! Black fruit, wild flowers and pepper. Medium-bodied, juicy and spicy with ripe tannin, finishing with dark chocolate and roasted coffee beans. Abv. 13,5% — 4 years ago

Popped and poured; no formal notes. This is a hugely floral wine; yellow flowers and honey suckle. Low-ish acid. Lovely with brandade. — 5 years ago

Grand cru quality. Way too young. I will love to see this in 15 years. Right now it’s really good Pinot but in a decade or two I bet it will be singing with complexity — 7 years ago

Always a joy to check in with Souhaut. This Syrah is in a better early drinking place, oddly enough, than the Gamay. Very pleasurable with nice tannic presence. — 10 years ago

Great QPR, the Delas Saint-Joseph François de Tournon Rouge 2011 displays baritone aromas of ripe plums, reduced blackberries, anise, wet embers, fruit cake and a a billowing smoky undertow on opening. It's equally glorious in the mouth, I especially like the interplay of tannins and acidity. It's well defined, black fruit bolstered by cedar and Garrigue, I'm enjoying it on its own, certainly, it has the potential to age over the next decade or so. Highly recommended. — 10 years ago

LQV w Nic and Brian.

A bit simple and jammy, the 2015 Saint Joseph Babylone features aromas and flavors of cherry preserves. It's medium to full-bodied, with some slightly green, stemmy notes on the silky finish. RP89, 2015

Bright, vivid blackberry fruit with lots of concentration yet quite light body. Slight bitterness to finish. (RH) JR16.5, 2017 — 4 years ago
