Vinous
Reviewed December 2022Shimmering ruby color. Smoky mineral and potpourri nuances and a hint of incense complement expansive blackberry, kirsch, olive paste and exotic spice scents. Juicy and deeply concentrated, offering sappy, dark berry preserve, spicecake, espresso and violet pastille flavors that show fine definition and mineral thrust. Comes off impressively lithe for its depth, finishing sweet and extremely long, with repeating spiciness and polished tannins that sneak in late. This is a category-defining wine for the appellation, at least by my standards. (JR)

The 2019 Saint Joseph Le Clos Florentin was entirely destemmed, so while the wine's aromas and flavors from a hot, dry vintage skew toward cassis and black olives, the overall impression is one of elegance, finesse and polish. Medium to full-bodied, it's silky and fine, with a long, long finish. (JC)
