Coursodon, Saint-Joseph Sensonne other_regions_australia

Coursodon, Saint-Joseph Sensonne other_regions_australiaComing from a selection of Granite terroirs and aged all in new oak, the 2015 Saint Joseph Sensonne offers an incredibly pure, silky style as well as pedal to the metal aromas and flavors of crme de cassis, toasted spice, violets and incense. It's a big, rich, concentrated beauty that's already approachable given its fruit, yet has the depth, balance and purity to keep for two decades.
