Gaillard, Saint-Joseph Clos Cuminaille Size:12x750ml at least not yet thoughBright violet. Mineral accented cherry, dark berry and violet scents are complicated by hints of olive, cracked pepper and licorice. Seamless and broad on the palate, offering juicy blackberry and bitter cherry flavors that become sweeter and livelier with air. A subtle floral pastille note appears on the clinging finish, which shows good delineation and harmonious tannins. Josh Raynolds
