2005 Chapoutier St. Joseph Les Granits (magnum)

 The last and best of three magnums we've enjoyed over the past ten years. Best enjoyed from a decanter to allow it to open up. Filigreed tannins provide the framework for scrumptious black fruit.  Dusty minerality with hints of olive. Alluring lilac accents on nose of fruit compote. A testament to the greatness of the vintage. Couldn't ask for a better showing.
