Coursodon, Saint-Joseph Silice Rouge other_regions There is again fine richness

There is again fine richness and density to the solidly powerful flavors that terminate in a bone-dry bitter lemon rind-tinged finale

While so many other 2008 Barolos are built on perfume and grace

Lots of toasty oak on the back end but this is in balance with the fruit that drives the palate

La Aguilera and Hontoria

Coursodon, Saint-Joseph Silice Rouge other_regions There is again fine richnessThe classically styled 2017 Saint Joseph Silice aged in wood but in well used barrels, so it still sings with violets, blackberries and cracked pepper. It is on the full bodied side of the ledger, supple, lush and creamy, with hints of dark chocolate and warmth on the finish. Tasted twice (once blind), with consistent notes.
