94-95 My first Gonon StJo…unfortunately, I loved it. Wish these were easier to find at good prices! At 8yrs, this was so perfumed out of the glass. At 90% whole cluster, it shows typical green/stemmy aromatics but it’s not the dominant note, trending toward green peppercorns, violets/potpurri, olive, and black cherries. Mineral notes, pepper, mix of red and black fruits, mocha, and so much verve on the palate, absolutely buzzing both days. This wine is floral and herbal but with so much power and balanced fruit…kind of a wild-ness to it that I loved. What a beautiful expression of Syrah. Killer. Day two showed the whole cluster aromatics fade a bit, but it also showed the palate bulk up. So good.

Love every vintage of Gonon- the best St. Joseph IMO. So expressive and giving seemingly at any age, as it was here with 2016. My second 2016 in the last few months. Signature inky purple. Deep and intense with great texture showing black fruits, liquid minerals, newly bloomed violets, black olive and hints of cacao. Wonderful concentration, energy and finesse. Stains the palate with a long and assertive finish. Excellent.

A terrific vintage and showing already at this point. Excellent depth, concentration and wonderful texture. Black raspberries, herbs, black olives and spices. Lingering finish showing terrific intensity and focus. Bottle 2 off the list for Quince at The Farm.
