2016 Saint-Joseph Muletiers, Domaine Vallet

Muletiers comes from 2 parcels of 50 year-old Syrah vines planted on pure granite soils. It aged for 14 months in oak barrels, of which 20% were new. Deep ruby-purple, aromas are intensely concentrated: floral, dark fruits with sweetly spiced nuances. This is full, tightly concentrated and has good power, the finish being fine, freshly tannic and harmonious (for drinking 2021-2026+).
