Saint-Joseph rouge 2020 93VM / ***(*)JLL
Domaine Graeme & Julie Bott
 

93 pts Vinous
Opaque magenta. Pungent blackberry and cherry liqueur scents are complemented by suggestions of violet, olive and exotic spices. Subtly chewy and expansive in the mouth, offering spice-tinged black and blue fruit and floral pastille flavors that show sharp delineation and strong, spicy thrust. Juicy and velvety in texture, finishing with insistent blue fruit, floral and spice notes and steadily building tannins. One-third whole clusters. - By Josh Raynolds on December 2022

dark red; an oak-tar combination shows on the bouquet, with blue fruit, a cool inner, isn't yet together, has licorice with the inner snap of rock mineral notes. The palate also presents blue fruit, has tight binding, resources within. The tannins are ripe, round. It has iron on the inside, ends with quite firm content and some oak. 30% whole bunch, which comes through. 13.5°. From 2024.
