Pierre Gonon - Saint Joseph 2018

Fantastisk Saint Joseph fra legendarisk producent - men der skal ryddes lidt op fordi jeg skal flytte 2018 ***** 5 stjerner fra John Lingstone Learmonth - hvilket er den bedste i 2018 og sidst en hvid SJ fik 5 * af ham var i 2015. Robert Parker er på 93-95 (in steel vat since start of Sept, botting in two weeks) shiny yellow robe. This has an embracing bouquet, rock n’roll, mixed, jaunty live airs in it, apricot, peach, wax, honey. The palate combines handsome, firm gras with sève of old vines, sap, hence style and a texture that pleases. It has good grip, straightens nicely after a bout of richness. This is very good, right on the money, is very well defined, poised, has salted length. This has class, is Grand Vin. “It was a very hot during the harvest, we picked in the morning, and it has come through as a fresh wine; the East part of Les Oliviers gives freshness from soils and exposure,” Pierre Gonon. 2039-41. 3 Dec 2019
