Delas Frères Saint-Joseph Francois de Tournon 750mL
Delas Frères Saint-Joseph Francois de Tournon 750mL
The 2016 Saint Joseph François De Tournon comes from more schist and gneiss soils and spent 10-14 months in mostly used barrels, with a small part in tank to preserve more freshness. It's another ruby/purple-colored effort from this estate and gives up lots of blackberry and blueberry fruits intermixed with earthy minerality, ground pepper, and hints of damp earth. Rich, layered, and textured, it will be better in a year or two and keep for 8-10, if not longer.
NOTE WELL: If you wish to order wine or other vintage products, unless the vintage is specified in the TITLE, we will send you the current available vintage. If you want to check the current available vintage before ordering please call our hotline 0423 121 969.

The colour is a deep, dark ruby red The nose is clearly marked by delicate aromas of cassis and spices.
On the palate, the "François de Tournon" cuvée shows a smooth and voluptuous texture hidding a good but fine and silky tannic structure, that gives the wine great potential for ageing.
