The only one of Courbis’s 2016s from Saint Joseph to really require any sort of cellaring is the 2016 Saint Joseph La Cotte Sud. This is sourced from 25-year-old vines planted on granitic, south-facing slopes and will spend 18 months in 50% new oak before being bottled in June 2018. This medium to full-bodied Syrah offers up hints of espresso and peppery spice layered atop ripe, plummy fruit. It’s supple upfront, then firms up on the long finish. Give it a couple of years in the cellar, and drink it over the next decade.
