Faury/Lionel Saint-Joseph 2019

91-93 points Josh Raynolds (Vinous): "Ripe blue fruits, candied flowers and a hint of smokiness on the perfumed nose. Juicy dark berry and bitter cherry flavors take on a candied violet note and a hint of cracked pepper with air. Dusty tannins build slowly on a long, penetrating finish that echoes the floral and smoke notes. 25% whole clusters. (May 2020)"

92 points James Molesworth (Wine Spectator): "[$37 list] A bright, racy style, offering a mix of fresh cherry and blackberry puree flavors laced with sweet spice, violet and anise notes. Pure all the way through the finish. Drink now through 2030. 973 cases imported. (Jan/Feb 2022)"
