2018 St. Joseph Rouge, Les Clos, Chapoutier (6 x Bottle)

France Rhone North Rhone

Inky ruby color. Highly perfumed, mineral-accented black raspberry, cherry-cola and violet scents pick up olive and succulent floral notes with air. Juicy, energetic and alluringly sweet, offering intense, mineral-tinged red and blue fruit preserves, spicecake and floral pastille flavors that become deeper and spicier as the wine opens up. The floral and mineral notes carry emphatically through an impressively long, energetic finish that features harmonious tannins and a suggestion of candied licorice.

Vinous

Powerful, mineral-accented aromas of ripe dark fruits, cola, candied flowers, olive paste and exotic spices. Densely packed and energetic in style, offering bitter cherry, blueberry, floral pastille and fruitcake flavors that unfurl slowly with air and show brisk delineation. The blue fruit note drives a strikingly long, spicy finish shaped by fine-grained, slowly building tannins.
