Le Clos is made from a 0.98 hectare Syrah vineyard planted on coarse black mica granite. This ancient soil leads to a wine full of dark fruits, beautiful minerality, fine, silky tannins and and notes of graphite on a long, lingering finish. This vintage is distinctive, full-bodied and powerful with delicate, mouth-coating tannins. A wonderful expression of this plot. Very rarely does Saint-Joseph reach these rarefied levels.

Dark, lively crimson. Gorgeous! Offers much more pleasure than the Hermitage Les Greffieux 2008. Sad that prices of this wine and the best St-Josephs generally have been edging up since about 2012. 18 points
