2015 Saint-Joseph Rouge Guigal

This has some complex, smoked-meat aromas with an array of fragrant spices and peppery notes, as well as ripe, dark berries. The palate is powerful and yet elegant. This delivers a lot of dark-berry flavor in a fresh, sleek and powerful frame. Drink in 2020.

Inviting, with a core of warm raspberry, fig and blackberry compote flavors inlaid liberally with roasted apple wood and anise notes. Shows brambly grip through the finish. Best from 2020 through 2028. 18,300 cases made.

Aged in second fill barrels, the 2015 Saint-Joseph is another huge success. Sourced from the southern end of this sprawling appellation, off granitic sites, it showcases aromas of crushed stones and discrete pencil shavings, which frame bright cherry notes. It's medium to full-bodied, poised and fresh, with lingering tart berry flavors on a long, stony finish.

The 2015 Saint Joseph is another beauty from this incredible estate and incredible vintage. Blueberries, black raspberries, ground pepper, crushed rocks, and violet notes all soar from this full-bodied, concentrated, yet seamless and elegant Saint Joseph that shows a wonderful sense of minerality and purity. As with most 2015s, it's approachable today due to the quality of the fruit, yet has plenty of underlying structure and will age beautifully.

Flot, rig, vibrerende, krydret duft med mineralsk tone. Frisk smag, rank, spændstig med lang eftersmag, krydret og mineralsk.

Deep ruby. Smoky, mineral-accented cherry and dark berry liqueur aromas are complicated by hints of cola and licorice. Supple and broad on the palate, offering nicely concentrated blackberry and bitter cherry flavors that become sweeter as the wine stretches out. A subtle floral pastille note comes up on the broad, clinging finish, which shows very good clarity and rounded tannins. Drink: 2022-2029.
