2015, Saint Joseph Rouge, L'Instinct, Domaine Jolivet

“Bright purple. Potent black and blue fruit, olive and spicecake aromas show very good clarity and pick up a suggestion of candied flowers with air. Broad and plush on the palate, offering densely packed blackberry and bitter cherry flavors sharpened by a jolt of cracked pepper. Slow-building tannins add gentle grip to the finish, which hangs on with strong, spicy tenacity.” (Josh Reynolds : 91 p)

“Very dark robe, black through it, purple on the rim. The bouquet rocks with cool, clear depth of black berry fruit. The palate continues the Morello cherry theme, with a slinky run of that fruit with precise tannins snugly fitted within. This is harmonious, has good depth and class. Everything comes in fine detail. “ (xxxx(x) John Livingstone-Learmonth : Drinkrhone.com)
