An outstanding effort, the mineral and floral-scented 2003 St.-Joseph Francois de Tournon’s dense purple color is followed by a beautiful nose of minerals, white flowers, crushed rocks, creme de cassis, and blackberries. This tannic vin de garde ideally needs 2-3 years of cellaring, and should keep for 10-15. Importer: Maison Marques et Domaines, Oakland, CA; tel. (510) 587-2000
