Score 90/100 · Josh Raynolds, Jan 2006
Deep violet color. Inky, deep aromas of blackberry and spices. Full-flavored and juicy, with vibrant berry and cola flavors lifted by pepper and dried flowers. Finishes with firm tannins and a note of dark cherry.

The suave, deep ruby/purple-tinged 2003 St.-Joseph Vieilles Vignes is even better than the Crozes Hermitage. Offering abundant amounts of tapenade-infused, black currant and cherry fruit, it is an enormously rich, fat effort with high extract and tannin, but low acidity and lofty alcohol.
