2018 St Joseph Poivre et Sol

Shimmering ruby. Expressive, spice-accented blackberry, potpourri, cola and baking spice scents, along with a minerally topnote that builds with aeration. Fleshy black and blue fruit, floral pastille and spicecake flavors are supported by a core of juicy acidity. Gains weight on a very long, sappy finish that strongly echoes the dark berry and floral qualities. 60% whole clusters, 40% new oak.
