Domaine Bernard Gripa - Saint-Joseph 'Le Berceau' - 2020

Dark robe; reduction hovers over the nose, an aroma that digs in on sustained black fruits, Morello cherries, blue fruit, wild berries, licorice. The palate gives a broad roll of black cherry coulis fruit, padded tannins on board, a firm depth inside the upholstery. This has a luxurious outer casing, will be a sweet spot wine. There’s a lot going on in the finish, dusty tannins, herbs, savoury notes. 4.5 Stars John Livingstone-Learmonth, Drink Rhone
