Country: France / Vieilles Vignes
Variety: Syrah Rhône Valley
Winery: Tardieu-Laurent / Saint-Joseph
T-L’s 2007s from the Northern Rhône came out well, including this example from Saint-Joseph. Intense espresso, cracked pepper and black olive notes scream of cool-climate Syrah, while the feel in the mouth is supple, ending on a silky note.
