Saint Cosme St. Joseph 2010

"The other 2010 that readers need to keep a sharp eye out for is the 2010 St.-Joseph. One of the sleeper cuvees of the entire cellar, ground pepper intermixed with tapenade, creme de cassis, and smoky barbecue notes are followed by a wine with great fruit, good acidity, and striking minerality. It should drink well for a decade or more.
Range: 92-94"

The Wine Advocate

"A rich, polished style, offering gorgeous mouthfeel to the well-layered fig sauce, blackberry confiture and plum pâte de fruit flavors, all supported by roasted tobacco leaf and melted licorice snap notes that course through the finish. Shows ample depth and drive for the cellar. Best from 2013 through 2023."

Wine Spectator

"Deep ruby. Powerful aromas of dark berry compote, olive and violet, with a smoky overtone. Lush and palate-coating, offering ripe blackcurrant and boysenberry flavors lifted by gentle acidity. Shows very good power on the clinging finish, which leaves a suave floral note behind.
Range: 90-92"
