Wine & Spirits highlighted this “Dense, Opulent St-Joseph” in their Wine of the Week article for February 21st.
“A wine as elegant as it is firm, almost forbidding in its polished, well-oaked facade.” They advise to wait at least ten years to enjoy this wine, though they noted that wine remained unchanged in their bottle for many days.
