Emmanuel Darnaud, Saint-Joseph Dardouille other_regions_australia crushed flowers and deeply spiced

crushed flowers and deeply spiced notes are woven into an intricate fabric of indescribable class

There is good underlying tension and detail if limited concentration to the otherwise delicious flavors that conclude in a mildly drying and austere finale

a touch of liquorice developing with aeration

plum liqueur and a hint of smoked meat

but I am willing to look past that because the wine has aged so gracefully

Emmanuel Darnaud, Saint-Joseph Dardouille other_regions_australia crushed flowers and deeply spicedFrom one of the most talented vignerons in the Rhne, the 2021 Saint Joseph Lieu Dit La Dardouille has a ruby purple hue to go with a perfumed, complex bouquet of red and blue fruits, violets, peppery herbs, and an undeniable sense of minerality. It's balanced, medium bodied, has supple yet present tannins, and outstanding length.
