The outstanding 1990 St.-Joseph-Les Grisieres is one of the three or four best St.-Josephs I have tasted. A knock-out nose of sweet red and black fruits, flowers, and toast is undeniably seductive. Moreover, the wine offers an impeccable marriage of elegance and authoritative flavors. The tannins are soft, the concentration of fruit is sweet and expansive, and the long finish is sure to please both connoisseurs and neophytes. This St.-Joseph is totally dry, but the degree of ripeness achieved in 1990 makes it taste sweet. Drink the Les Grisieres over the next 6-7 years. No one has ever doubted Perret's ability to produce superb white wines, but now his red wines must also be taken seriously. A Christopher Cannan Selection, Europvin - various importers.
