Score: Robert Parker 87-90/100
"The richest, fullest, densest and most concentrated Saint-Joseph Passion de Terrases 2011 reveals lots of black cherry and cassis interwoven with notes of rock powder, spring flowers and forest floor. This medium-bodied 2011 should drink well for a decade." (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker). A very seductive animal character!
