WA (88-90): Not surprisingly, the 2005s are tannic longer-term wines with a style not dissimilar from the Cote Roties of 1995, which were tannic and backward, yet for the most part have never come around. The 2005 St.-Joseph Clos de Cuminaille is a beautiful deep ruby/purple-colored wine with expressive notes of camphor, black cherry liqueur and a hint of even deeper, darker fruits. The pain grille from new oak barrels is present in this medium to full-bodied, pure wine which has good acidity and plenty of length. Importer: David Hinkle, North Berkeley Imports, Oakland, CA; tel.
