Domaine Vallet 2004 St. Joseph

[winoweenie]

Had this tasty morsel last nite as the last wine before going on a much needed sabbatical. My first Joseph but not my last. Nice medium ruby color. Nose showed the rhone barny, red and black fruits, spice, and a tad of garriuste(sp?). Nice solid 3&3/4 lapper finish. Still needs 3-6 to mature. Enjoyable bottle and a fine food friendly drink. 89/93 22 at Vintage 13% alc. WW
