The 2006 St.-Joseph could easily pass for a top-notch red Burgundy. Notes of forest floor as well as sweet red currants and cherries jump from the glass of this velvety-textured, astonishingly fresh and charming wine. While it flows daintily over the palate, it packs plenty of intensity and fruit. The vintage’s zesty acidity has provided an endearing precision and charm. It should be drunk over the next 7-8 years.
