Score 88-90/100 · Drink 2003-2009, Robert Parker, Jun 2003

The 2001 St.-Joseph Les Royes possesses deeper, sweeter black cherry, strawberry, and currant fruit than the 2000, with more glycerin and depth. The wine offers immediate appeal, and is best consumed during its first 5-6 years of life. Importer: Russell Herman, Berkeley Heights, NJ; tel. (908) 771-9082.

Score 86-87/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous

Dark ruby-red. Primary, pure aromas of blackberry, licorice and flint. Showing more fruit in the middle than the basic Saint-Joseph release; the cassis and flint flavors offer sound varietal character. Tannins are firm but not dry.
