Vincent Paris 2019 Saint Joseph AOC 750ml

Vibrant blackberry and cherry liqueur aromas are complicated by suggestions of cracked pepper, pungent flowers and smoked meat. Juicy black/blue fruit and allspice flavors show very good energy and become weightier with air while maintaining focus. Fine-grained tannins add framework to the spice- and floral-driven finish, which leaves a building mineral note behind.

Score: (91 - 93) points -- Josh Raynolds, Vinous, 2020
