TASTING NOTE: Notes of violets, spice-box, licorice, plums and spring flowers emerge from the medium-bodied, charming, fresh and lively 2014 St Joseph Laurus, which has shed the baby fat it showed from barrel. It does well in the vintage, has good fruit, nicely integrated acidity and a good finish. It won't make old bones, but will certainly offer plenty of pleasure over the coming 4-6 years. Drink Date: 2016-2022. Score - 89 (Jeb Dunnuck, robertparker.com, Dec. 30, 2016) |
