Exhibiting more minerality, blackberry, raspberry, game and olive tapenade, the 2012 St Joseph Le Paradis Saint Pierre is a chiseled, classic effort that has medium to full-bodied richness, serious purity of fruit and ripe, yet well-defined tannin structure. Opening up in the glass, it shows the vintage’s texture and relatively forward style, but I like its mid-palate depth and it has the structure to hold nicely for another decade.
