Note di degustazione
The 2020 Crozes-Hermitage Les Trois Chênes is a touch more perfumed, with more blue fruits, spring flowers, graphite, and violet aromas and flavors. It too is beautifully balanced and medium to full-bodied, with ripe, silky tannins and a great finish. It's another brilliant wine from this incredible winemaker.

100% Syrah. Dark, spicy, plenty of intensity on the nose and palate. Dark berry, touch of pepper and spice. Not the most concentrated but quite typical for 2020. Fresh, appealing, peppery finish. Good purity. (AWH)
I tasted three components of the 2020 Crozes Hermitage Les Trois Chênes—maybe four, as Darnaud hadn't yet decided on whether the last one would be included in this cuvée or bottled separately as Au Fil du Temps. The blend should reflect a balanced blend of floral, stemmy notes, bright red cherries and notes of dark-skinned fruit and black olives. Full-bodied, rich and velvety, it should drink well on release and for up to a decade. The final sample, aged in second use François Frères barrels, stood out for its suave, silky texture, smoky notes, vibrant raspberry fruit and long finish. If Darnaud bottles it separately, don't hesitate to snap it up (93 - 95, 2022 - 2030).
