Note di degustazione
The 2016 Saint-Joseph is delicious, wafting from the glass with refined tobacco, iodine, earthy tones and dried flowers. Showing masterful equilibrium on the medium- to full-bodied palate alongside commendable savoriness, the 2016 is fully developed, settling the expression with effortless vivacity and thrust on the highly complex epilogue. This is classic Gonon at its finest.

The 2016 Saint-Joseph from Pierre Gonon has gained power and depth since I last tasted it. Revealing a delicate, perfumed bouquet of dark cherries, black olives, tapenade and violet, it's medium to full-bodied, layered and precise, with a seamless texture and a fleshy core of fruit framed by velvety tannins, culminating in a long, energetic finish.
The 2016 Saint Joseph has more of everything, with a saturated purple color, a rocking nose of dark fruits, bouquet garni, bay leaf, and violets, obvious minerality, full body, and the purity and elegance that’s the hallmark of exceptional winemaking. It’s already approachable but will keep for 10-15 years.
Superb, exotic nose with stemmy, meaty and smoky complexity. What a beauty! A cross between the charm of Côte Rôtie with the structure of Cornas. Still very primary, yet the tannins are digestible now. (RH)
