2017 Saint-Joseph Muletiers, Domaine Vallet

Grown on pure granite soils, Muletiers comes from older vines and has great depth and density. Tasted from different barrels in February 2019, colours were deep, intense purple, the aromas being rich and deep, recalling ripe black cherries with complex smokiness. There is real volume in the mouth, with multi-layered, supple textures and a powerful frame. Complex and spicy, this is a wine built for bottle-age (for drinking 2021-2028+).
