Note di degustazione
Deep ruby. Smoke-accented cherry and blackberry on the nose, along with hints of olive and black pepper. Juicy and open-knit, showing fine clarity and spicy lift to its ripe red and blue fruit flavors. Subtle tannins frame a persistent finish that echoes the pepper and cherry notes.

Dark in color for a "basic" Crozes, the 2019 Crozes Hermitage shows impressive concentration and ripeness, seamlessly marrying black olives and licorice into a rich, full-bodied example of the appellation. Round and velvety, it may lack a bit of nuance, but it's a satisfying mouthful of Syrah for drinking over the next several years.
The base 2019 Crozes-Hermitage looks to be outstanding, with a beautiful purple color, classic Northern Rhône notes of darker fruits, pepper, and gamey tapenade, medium to full body, and a balanced, pure, seamless texture. It should be a smoking value and delivers the goods.
100% Syrah. Aged for 9 months in oak. Bottled. Tasted blind. Reductive on the nose, slightly farmyardy. The robust tannins are very prominent and dominate the palate, which shows a meaty and a slightly lactic character. (AC)
