Magnum. The most memorable red of the many wines served at the launch of my glassware in New York. Just perfect already with ripeness but the savour of a true Crozes. Aged in small oak apparently but it seemed to have worked in this case. (JR)

Inky ruby. Displays lively, spice-tinged black raspberry and cherry aromas, with notes of fresh flowers and minerals adding lift. Seamless and precise on the palate, offering nervy red and dark berry flavors plus hints of licorice and cola. In a lively, elegant style, finishing with strong cut, supple tannins and a lingering note of candied flowers.
A rich, structured Crozes Hermitage, Jaboulet’s 2012 Domaine de Thalabert offers first-rate notes of blackcurrants, peppery herbs, leather, black olive and scorched earth. Aged 12 months in 20% new French oak, it’s medium-bodied, juicy and balanced, with enough underlying depth and structure to keep it evolving nicely through 2023.
Bright purple. Lively mineral- and spice-accented red berry and floral pastille aromas show very good clarity and a hint of smokiness. Silky and precise on entry, then fleshier in the mid-palate, offering vibrant black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors and a touch of dark chocolate. Closes spicy and long, with impressive clarity and smooth tannins.
