Domaine Jean-Claude Marsanne Saint-Joseph Syrah 2012

Lars Fasel

Bold nose of purple flowers, blood, & blackcurrants. Bacon fat and black olive. Floral and meaty on the palette. Loads of structure left. Great stuff.

Chris MacLean

So smooth and elegant.

A great wine. Love this estate’s classic, feral, gamey St. Jo’s. Wild and pretty nose. Very floral, gamey and with nice lift but also very broad. Awesome. Superb aromas. Palate is ripe and meaty, with velvety and sweet tannins and lovely freshness and acidity. Terrifically put together abs very compact with exquisitely pure fruit. Finishes long and peppery with granitic crunch. Wonderful.

Bacon fat, currant, spice and crushed dark fruit. Delicious Syrah.

Matthew Cohen

Great bloody Syrah nose. Nice juicy fruit. Nice length.

PnP. Getting a lot of fruit off the bat which is nice. Not a ton of attack/ structure tho. Does have nice long pleasing finish. Drinking half tonight / half tmrw. Will see how she evolves. Btw, def feminine in nature...

Lovely classic and wild animal like nose. Feral. Olive and also black cherry liquor jam. Floral as well. Palate is awkward and closed and needs air. JD now.
