St.-Joseph enjoyed a superb vintage in 2003, as evidenced by the 2003 St.-Joseph St.-Epine. Sadly, there are only 2,200 bottles of this amazing wine. Its opaque inky/purple color is accompanied by sumptuous aromas of graphite, blueberries, blackberries, crushed rocks, and flowers. Full-bodied, powerful, and rich as well as elegant and fresh, this huge St.-Joseph needs 2-4 years of bottle age, and should last for 15+. Importer: Maison Marques et Domaines, Oakland, CA; tel.
