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

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
Amazingly smooth and beautiful. Wonderful! — 11 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
Simply stunning from one of the best. A tremendous wine with structure and integrated fruit — 12 years ago

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