Both of the Saint Josephs are noteworthy, yet should be consumed over the near term. The straight 2003 Saint Joseph is too racy on the acid front, yet offers pretty tobacco leaf, wild herbs, pepper and darker berry fruit in its medium-bodied, light, fresh profile. Drink it over the coming couple of years. While I generally feel Condrieu show best in their first 3-5 years of life, all three of these efforts from Georges Vernay were stunning. They certainly make me open up my drink windows on these wines.
