2007 RHONE VALLEY, SAINT-JOSEPH "LES EDILES"

100% Syrah. As described by Nicolas, my local budget french wine store "Deep purple. Violette, black fruits and dried bacon. Elegante and powerful, a well integrated oak finish". I was told to decant for an hour. I popped, poured, gave it a few swirls, and went for it. Seemed tight, with a a tart, oaky, tannic finish. Seems like a better wine, perhaps young or perhaps I should have decanted for an hour. I'll save some for night #2 to see if it comes around.

  2. I just had the 2009 edition of this. What a show! I found myself just keeping my nose in the glass - I could have hooked it up to a ventilator and smelled it all night. Meaty, robust, slight spice, interesting. Best wine of 2013!
