dark red; the bouquet shows a forward air of crushed raspberry, a hint of stewed in the fruit, a little freedom, space in it. The palate holds soft red fruit content, builds tannins that are a bit furry, shows a late floral note, light grain grip on the close. It’s a but under restraint, but the fruit comes back OK at the end. “It’s a fresh, elegant St Jo vintage,” Lionel Faury. 2034-36 Nov 2024
