Chateau de Saint Cosme Saint-Joseph 2023 Wine (75cl)

The description below is the retailer’s own wording.

Louis Barruol describes the microclimate of the vineyard Malleval as "very cold" which allows the grapes to retain acidity and showcase the floral aromas of the local Sérine variety. Aromas and flavors of blackberries and wild strawberries are accented by notes of peppercorns, tobacco, peonies, and violets.Syrah, with its deep flavors and firm tannins, is a natural match for grilled or smoked meat and dishes featuring herbs, roasted mushrooms, and onions. Seared venison or beef with black pepper and thyme or a Moroccan tagine of pigeon or chicken are complimented by the spicy characteristic of Syrah. A sturdy, dark version, with earthy underpinnings of brown bread, olive tapenade, dusty earth and sandalwood smoke layered with macerated plum, dried lavender and bacon fat. Structured and well-framed, with juniper, herbs and grilled anise streaming through the substantial finish, where fine yet present tannins hold firm. This will unfurl with time. Drink now through 2033. 250 cases imported. The 2023 Saint Joseph reveals beautiful liquid violets, pepper, and darker blue fruits, with a focused, medium-bodied style on the palate. It has good concentration, integrated acidity, and polished tannins, with an undeniable sense of minerality on the finish.Range: 90-92
