Much more backwards, serious and structured, the 2010 Saint Joseph Les Granits is a longer- term prospect and needs 2-3 additional years in the cellar. Starting out tight and reserved, it slowly offers up notions of creme de cassis, pepper, crushed violets and asphalt that flow nicely to a full-bodied, concentrated and layered Syrah that has gorgeous concentration, racy acidity and a big finish. Showing beautiful, granite-like minerality, as well as fabulous purity of fruit, it will evolve gracefully through 2030. 95+ - Jeb Dunnuck
