Monier St. Joseph

Prof Loesberg, who, if I read the thread arights, was the one who ventured a guess that Dom. Tunnel was using oak.

No one's do.

Allemand and Clape have some barrels that taste a lot like it :)

Yes, I was the one who made this error. I was passing on what a representative said to me at a tasting. I bought the wine from the tasting (both Cornas and St. Joseph)because I liked it, as I also said, deciding that I was an insufficient human being, but, alas, the human being I was. I'm happy to find out that liking this one is not evidence of my insufficiency--though I hear that there is other evidence--but merely of my gullibility in passing on incorrect information.

I do agree with you that it was glossy. So much so that my partner, who is no fan of dry red wines, said that he almost liked it.

You referring to the fact that they both have vines that used to be his?

Mark, I've had good luck with Domaine Alain Paret Domaine de la Couthiat Rochecourbe St Joseph. A pretty good value also!
