title: Tardieu-Laurent 2007 Vieilles Vignes  (Saint-Joseph)
description: T-L's 2007s from the Northern Rhône came out well, including this example from Saint-Joseph. Intense espresso, cracked pepper and black olive notes scream of cool-climate Syrah, while the feel in the mouth is supple, ending on a silky note.
variety: Syrah
designation: Vieilles Vignes
