Domaine Michelas St Gemme St Joseph St Epine

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：1601

The super-impressive 2009 St.-Joseph Ste.-Epine possesses a dense purple color in addition to copious aromas of sweet strawberry, black cherry and raspberry fruit, forest floor, licorice, truffles and a liqueur of granite/crushed rock-like character. This full-bodied, intense, light to moderately tannic 2009 will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring, and it should keep for 10-15 years. From their holdings in three major appellations, St.-Joseph, Cornas and Crozes-Hermitage, Michelas St.-Gemms produces an impressive array of wines. Moreover, prices are extremely reasonable.Importer: Grape News Importing, Chicago, IL; tel. (773) 665-1155

The 2008 St.-Joseph St.-Epine possesses surprisingly good fruit as well as abundant minerality. The St.-Epine exhibits more raspberry and black cherry fruit Both should be consumed over the next 6-8 years. Domaine Michelas St.-Gemme, which is located in Beaume le Michelas, has holdings in St.-Joseph, Cornas and Crozes-Hermitage.No known American importer.

I was unimpressed with the pleasant, but uninspiring 2006 St.-Joseph St.-Epine, which reveals soft, ripe, straightforward, monochromatic flavors of strawberries, cherries, herbs, and earth. No known American importer.
