2019 Thomas Farge Saint-Joseph Cote du Pouly [JS95]

Producer: Thomas Farge  Region: Saint-Joseph, Rhône, France Varietal: Syrah  Year: 2019 
James Suckling, 95 Points

“Explosive blackberry and elderberry fruit on the nose, but there’s nothing exaggerated about this youthful Saint-Joseph. Seriously ripe with a wonderful coolness to the concentrated and focused palate. The fine-grained tannins are self-confidently dry and drive the breathtakingly stony and spicy finish along. Drink or hold.” 
Winemaker Notes: 
“100% Syrah sourced from their best plot of land. Aged for 12 months in a mix of old 400-litre barrels and 3,000-litre foudre, and for a further two months in tank.”
Alcohol: 14.5%
