Still in component parts, the 2018 Saint Joseph should be another winner. The least concentrated, yet still exceptional Chalaix (92 – 94) displayed enticing notes of violets, blueberries and licorice; the Dardouille (93 – 95) was lusher and suppler, loaded with black cherries; and the Bachasson (94 – 96) was the most complex, mixing herbs and licorice with plummy fruit.
