"The 2022 Saint Joseph La Sensonne is always a slightly more modern style effort and see some new barrels, although I never feel it loses its classic character. It has a killer perfume of cassis and darker currants that give way to beautiful graphite, scorched earth, violets, and spicy wood nuances. This beauty is medium to full-bodied, has textbook Saint Joseph minerality, fine yet building tannins, and a great, great finish. This is one to seek out."

"The 2022 packs an oaky punch. This is hardly surprising, given that it matured in 100% new French 228-liter oak. Pronounced wood smoke and cedar mingle with licorice, fruitcake, black cherry compote and ripe blackberry. Looking for power and concentration? Look no further. Readers should note that no 2021 was made."
