The 2010 Alain Paret St. Joseph "420 Nuits" delivers fresh notes of ripe blackberry, cassis, graphite, spice-box, pepper, lavender, minerals and licorice which flow from the glass. This is elegant and focused with a gorgeous plush velvety texture that caresses your palate before the beautiful long lasting finish. Very pretty St. Joseph. (Best 2013-2022) - August, 2012 (JD)
