Domaine Courbis Les Royes Saint-Joseph 2020

Bright purple. Spice-accented red and blue fruit aromas show fine delineation and are complemented by suggestions of vanilla and candied violet. Sappy and nicely concentrated yet lively as well, offering juicy cherry and boysenberry flavors that become spicier with air. Smoothly blends power and finesse and finishes long and smooth, with supple tannins emerging slowly. Drinking window: 2026-2034. Score – 93. (Josh Raynolds, vinous.com, Dec. 2022)
