Tasting Notes

Somewhat under the radar, but well-worth buying by the case are the 2003 Courbis St.-Josephs, which reached quality levels that transcend the appellation. The 2003 St.-Joseph Les Royes exhibits an exceptionally inky/purple color as well as a sweet, provocative nose of blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, graphite, and truffles. Deep and full-bodied, with a liqueur of rocks-like character, sweet tannin, and a long, delineated finish, this stunning wine should evolve for 10-12 years or longer.
