Note di degustazione
The 2003 Saint Joseph Serines, which comes from the oldest vines on the estate, gives up lifted, perfumed aromatics of ripe berry fruits, violets, smoked duck, charred herbs and spice to go with a medium-bodied, balanced and lively profile on the palate. A beautifully done Saint Joseph that’s drinking great now, enjoy it over the coming 3-5 years. These are two outstanding 2003s from winemaker Yves Cuilleron.

Inky violet color. Powerful, exotic aromas of creme de mure, cherry liqueur, candied licorice, espresso and Asian spices. An intense note of star anise sits atop lush, sweet dark berry and cherry preserve flavors. Fat and viscous, with a flamboyant character that carries through the sweet, sappy, solidly tannic finish. This one chews up the scenery, but I'm impressed.
(includes a lot of plantings from the 1920s and 1930s, before clones became widespread) Full ruby. Cabernet-like aromas of cassis, licorice, bitter chocolate, mint and menthol. Penetrating, dense and juicy, with a strong peppery aspect and very good verve. Has the strength of material to support its strong tannins. This was completely destemmed and has a pH of 3. 9, yet still conveys an impression of freshness and sap (from acidification?) A rather powerful Saint-Joseph that should improve in bottle for a good six to ten years.
