"The 2022 Saint Joseph La Sensonne is always a slightly more modern style effort and see some new barrels, although I never feel it loses its classic character. It has a killer perfume of cassis and darker currants that give way to beautiful graphite, scorched earth, violets, and spicy wood nuances. This beauty is medium to full-bodied, has textbook Saint Joseph minerality, fine yet building tannins, and a great, great finish. This is one to seek out."

"The blockbuster-styled 2022 Saint-Joseph La Sensonne is loaded with intense wood smoke, clove, ripe black fruit and licorice tones. Medium- to full-bodied and concentrated, the 2022 will benefit from more time in bottle. Bold and savory, it walks off the stage with persistence on the structured finish."
