Ferraton Pere & Fils Saint-Joseph La Source

2020 Vintage- Lurid ruby. Expressive black and blue fruit, olive, vanilla and cracked pepper aromas complement a floral quality that emerges as the wine opens up. Offers appealingly sweet, smoke- and mineral-tinged blueberry, cherry-cola and vanilla flavors that show good definition and spicy lift. Delivers a solid punch of flavor but comes off surprisingly lithe, closing on a subtly tannic note with impressive, mineral-driven persistence. Raised in a combination of concrete tanks and used oak barrels. -Josh Raynolds, Dec 2022 Reviewed by: Vinous - 93 pts
