The 2010 Domaine Louis Cheze St. Joseph Cuvée des Anges is ripe and layered with dark fruits, spices, toasted oak, mesquite, roasted coffee and licorice. This is a rich and powerful syrah but stays fresh from the underlying minerality and acidity. The polished finish leaves you with a long lasting impression. A very interesting style from this appellation, so whether you are a fan of new world fruit or old world charm, this has both. (Best 2013-2024) - November, 2012 (JD)
