A sturdy, dark version, with earthy underpinnings of brown bread, olive tapenade, dusty earth and sandalwood smoke layered with macerated plum, dried lavender and bacon fat. Structured and well-framed, with juniper, herbs and grilled anise streaming through the substantial finish, where fine yet present tannins hold firm. This will unfurl with time. Drink now through 2033. 250 cases imported.

Fermented with 100% whole clusters, the 2023 Saint-Joseph makes a compelling start, opening with ripe red fruits, orange rind, spicy tones and stemmy inflections. Touching the medium-bodied palate with lifting freshness and gentle structure, the 2023 is a well-crafted red Saint-Joseph that's going to be ready for action from day one.
