Wine Advocate rating: 91..."Showing much better from bottle than barrel, and probably the best vintage to date for this cuvee, Chave’s 2012 St Joseph Aleofane (aged 10 months in a combination of demi-muid and older barrels) offers impressive notes of black raspberry, cassis, wild herbs, pepper and saddle leather. Complex, layered and medium to full-bodied, enjoy this smoking Saint Joseph over the coming 7-8 years.
Proprietess Natacha Chave, who's the younger sister of Yann Chave, continues to make a perfumed, wild style of Syrah from both St Joseph and Crozes Hermitage. Both of her 2012s were outstanding."
