Saint-Joseph Syrah 2014

This is hitting the spot tonight. Probably because I'm back in my own home with my lovely wife. But, the wine is super pleasant. At 12 years, this Syrah shows bright red fruit, apple skins, a little herbal spice, and a touch of tar on the back end. It's very good, and probably in its prime.

@Dave, I’m sure you know this, but Vidal-Fleury is the winery that Etienne Guigal (Marcel’s father and Philippe’s grandfather) got his start in WAY back in the day (1940s is only a guess on my part?), which the Guigal family eventually purchased. I’ve always thought the V-F wines to be good to very good, though not quite at the E. Guigal level. Maybe Philippe will see this note and comment.

9.0

At Pino who insists I pick one to open, aside from his Amarone. This one has aged well with dark fruit and fading forest leaves and earth in the core. — 6 months ago
