lingering and mildly rustic finish where the only fault is a hint of warmth

Very unusual nose – almost smells of caramel

Interestingly

The 2010 Gloria has a very attractive and quite intense bouquet with a surfeit of blackberry and wild strawberry scents

somewhat closed down at this stage from an aromatic perspective

Chapoutier, Saint-Joseph Granits other_regions lingering and mildly rustic finishFeatures lovely high pitched streaks of lavender and white pepper throughout, while the core of steeped cherry and plum fruit waits in reserve. A long, refined mineral edge drives the finish, adding energy and cut. Best from 2020 through 2030. 407 cases made, 57 cases imported. JM
