Paul Jaboulet Aîné, Saint-Joseph (Rhône Valley, France) 2012

This shows lovely, open, ripe fruit aromas with an interesting spice accent.  The fruit is also quite accessible on the palate, with a very subtle and appealing note recalling cured meat.  This accent note gives the wine a rather exotic character, yet it remains quite fresh in overall profile, with a nice mineral undertone.  Delicious now, but sure to improve for up to a decade.
