Yves Cuilleron Saint-Joseph L’Amarybelle 2011

Slightly richer, with ample black raspberry, crème de cassis, bacon fat, minerality and violets, the 2011 Saint Joseph L’Amarybelle is similarly-styled on the palate, with a medium-bodied and elegant feel - 89 points.
Tasting Notes
This wonderful wine from Yves Cuilleron offers sweet spice, candied black fruits and some delicate notes of grilled tobacco make a nice complex and charming nose. Fleshy with velvety tannins and spicy finish.
Wonderful fresh primary notes in the first 5 years with the ability to age up to 10 years or more developing rich secondary characteristics.

Pairing of this wine from France is ideal with a variety of meats lamb, pork; for example filet of pork wrapped in a chorizo crust.
