Dubliner Executive Oenophile Member # 7124 flavor as it swells and grows, all and only deep in the back row. Stay in the back row. There is Syrah. So is this St. Joseph that great? I don’t know. I would say it must be 89-90 pts by rights. It’s true, the initial flavor is “mediocre.” The wine is out of balance and will probably always be. But my God, if you drink it right—that is, if you waited 10 years, and if you let it get where it needs to go—to the back row—you could taste real Syrah at its dirty violet best. Wine wasn’t meant to be swashed and spat. And how should I presume? -------------------http://www.winemosquito.com From: Boston | Registered: Apr 1999 IP: Logged | posted September 14, 2005 02:01 PM I think you’re being a bit harsh on Parker. He rated it 86, you rate it 89-90. Not a massive difference. And he did say: a wine with a sweet, pure nose of black cherries, crisp, elegant, tart, medium-bodied flavors, and a vibrant, lively personality. It should drink well for 4-5 years. Glad you are still enjoying it, 9 years after he tasted it, but not a major revelation, surely ? -------------------- Brian Haughey There's no future in time travel From: New York | Registered: Feb 2005 IP: Logged | 127

God I love what Syrah can do. Parker gave this wine 86<br />
points and a sympathetic pat on the back, saying, “Sorry<br />
little guy, maybe next time, but probably not.” So now it’s<br />
10 years later, and let’s see if Parker was right, or what he<br />
was smoking.<br />
It is the year of Our Lord 2005, and a bottle of St. Joseph<br />
is opened. The initial attack is indeed an ordinary<br />
mouthful of tannin, twig, and an impression of a little<br />
wine, which is already on the fade. But wait. Wait. Gurgle.<br />
Couple more sips. Let it get to the back of your tongue, the<br />
sides of your tongue, your throat as it goes down. Wait.<br />
Now! There! There is Syrah! Coming through. Never<br />
mind the inauspicious start. Never mind the front of your<br />
mouth. Concentrate on that deeply non-Australian Syrah
