Wine Advocate

Reviewed December 2017
Bottled just one month ago, I suspect my score for the 2015 Saint Joseph Le Clos Florentin may seem conservative after some additional time in bottle. Hints of graham crackers frame ripe cassis fruit in this rich, full-bodied wine that retains a strong sense of balance and elegance despite its powerful nature. (JC)

Review Date: 04/2018
Lurid violet. A deeply perfumed, highly complex bouquet evokes ripe cherry and boysenberry, along with complicating notes of potpourri, incense, allspice and smoky bacon. Sappy and extremely expressive on the palate, offering intense, smoke-tinged black and blue fruit liqueur and floral pastille flavors that are energized by an undertone of juicy acidity. Displays superb delineation and mineral lift on a youthfully tannic, floral-dominated finish that hangs on with outstanding tenacity. (JR)

Notes

John Livingstone-Learmonth for Cradle of the Rhône: "dark red. Light reduction shows in an ample aroma, has an effusive blackberry potential, airs of cooked mulberry, even prune and damp, dark soil. The palate holds a fluid sève or sap, with silk on the texture, very polished tannins. It’s a wine of feel as well as taste. The sap of the old vines controls its form, manner over its granite origins, which play only an occasional hand in odd sparks here and there towards the finish. This is big, has southern leanings, a lot of density. There are soaked cherries flavours on the close." (03/2018)
