The absolutely remarkable 2004 St.-Joseph Vignes des Hospices has stunning power, richness, and thick flavors, which is very unusual for this particular vintage. The wine’s sweet cherry, smoked herb, camphor, black currant, and mineral notes all make for a full-bodied, gorgeous wine that is a candidate for the St.-Joseph of the vintage. It should drink well for 10-15 years. 92 points Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 170 Apr 2007
