E. Guigal Saint-Joseph Vignes de l'Hospice 2005
Saint Joseph, Northern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceVin de L' Hospice is a big step up from the regular Saint Joseph sp much more intense and with very fine concentration. Big spicy black fruit with bits of roasted meat and animal with spice, mineral and floral notes everywhere. The wine spends 13 months in 100 per cent new French oak seemingly easy to absorb in this n=benchmark vintage. A super rich wine that sets a new standard for me with Saint-Joseph.Tasted: 13 April 2009Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $110.00 | 750ml | speculative listing - Grady Wine Marketing |
