Looking at the 2014s, these are easily up with the crème de la crème of the vintage. The inky-colored 2014 Saint Joseph L'Olivaie offers classic Northern Rh?ne Syrah notes of bacon fat and crushed rocks, in addition to lots of ripe currants and black cherry fruit, awesome purity, polished tannin and nicely integrated acidity. It’s a gorgeous wine to drink over the coming decade.
