DELAS 2020 SAINT JOSEPH ST EPINE

WINE SPECTATOR 94 POINTS: “Restrained and tightly focused, this has a sleek mineral edge that carries a core of gently mulled raspberry and black cherry fruit, while light violet, savory and incense hints fill in the background. Sneaky long, too.”

JAMES SUCKLING 94 POINTS: “Intense smoke, green and black pepper, clove and flint aromas pull you into this powerful, deep and remarkably fresh St.-Joseph. Makes a serious statement at the long, very stony and energetic finish. Matured only in oak barrels, of which about one quarter were new.”
