Cellared at least ten yrs here chez Bob. Thought about a year ago I should think of opening but this Focus is a good time eh.
Very dry cork, hard to extract. Good level, decanted 2 hrs, 14% alc, cost think around $30 Cdn? 90% Tannat.....Cab Sauv/Franc in the mix.
Still excellent color, not much sign of bricking. Impressive aromatics here with earthy tones,leather, plum, raspberries, "some spice" from across the table.
Initial entry thought is wow..opened at the right time. Hint of soft tannins but some sweetness, medium-bodied, long length, plum quite apparent. Delicious but wine did not hold up too well overnight with a sense of drying out?

Why do you say that? It's not a particularly small or rarefied AOC.

Having shopped in Alberta several times, I sense Bob’s selections are highly limited.
I can get Gonon, Faury and a few others with ease, but I bet the typical good store in Alberta may have one or zero St. Joseph selections.

Lots of acidity in this wine so might be a great match for seared scallops or lobster. Not exactly my style but the price was right. I'd still prefer a Newton unfiltered with 10 years on it but that would be 2-3 times the price. Probably easily age 6-8 more years.
