"The 2022 Saint Joseph La Sensonne reveals cassis, graphite, spicy wood, and crushed stone aromatics. Medium to full-bodied and concentrated on the palate, it has ripe tannins and a pure, layered, structured style. All Syrah aged in 100% new oak, this brilliant Saint Joseph shows the vintage's rich, round style yet stays balanced, with plenty of structure. It should benefit from a few years and evolve nicely over the following 8-10 years. Drink 2028-2038."

"The blockbuster-styled 2022 Saint-Joseph La Sensonne is loaded with intense wood smoke, clove, ripe black fruit and licorice tones. Medium- to full-bodied and concentrated, the 2022 will benefit from more time in bottle. Bold and savory, it walks off the stage with persistence on the structured finish."
