A wine that's just starting to enter the early stages of adolescence, the 2005 St Joseph Lieu Dit St Joseph shows the classic, focused and mineral-driven nature of the 2005 vintage. Graphite, chocolate, toasted spice, charcoal and lots of mineral-laced dark fruits all emerge from this full-bodied, concentrated and peppery St Joseph. Possessing lots of ripeness and superb mid-palate depth, it will have 2+ decades of longevity when all is said and done.
