Description

After buying this wine I stumbled upon the wineblog below which perked me up no end...well worth a read.

The saintly Rbt Parker wrote also of this wine and vintage :-

Just up the street from the estate, Gerard’s son, Jean-Louis, has a small negociant business dedicated to making high quality St.-Joseph. The 2003 Offerus St.-Joseph is a beauty. Powerful and rich, with loads of berry fruit, a stunning perfume, and a heady finish, it is the finest example of this offering yet made. Moreover, it will be a bargain in this potentially monumental vintage.

One of the last producers to harvest in the north, Chave began picking on September 5th, and refused to acidify despite the fact that analytically there was virtually no acid left in his grapes. He told me this vintage has made him totally re-examine all his ideas about winemaking since the finished wines taste fresh, lively, and while they possesses enormous levels of alcohol (15-17% plus), they are neither hot nor heavy. He said, “perhaps it is our terroir, but I never thought wines like this could be made.” Everything was still in barrels as the assemblage had not yet taken place, so my tasting notes are based on tastings from each individual cuvee in the cellars.Score: 88-90 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate

Others have noted :-
Medium ruby. Pungent, wild, expanding aromas of cherry, smoked meat, lavender and licorice. Quite meaty and sauvage on the palate, with a rich, thick texture and very ripe dark plum flavor. Impressively concentrated, powerful wine that combines a distinct wildness with noteworthy sweetness of fruit.
Score: 90 Josh Raynolds, International Wine Cellar (Jan/Feb 06), January 2006

Very good deep colour for 2003, very good northern Rhone Syrah nose and really good fleshy (for Saint Joseph) fruit, a really good wine.
