Note di degustazione
Dark ruby. Spice-accented cherry, blackberry, licorice and candied flowers on the fragrant nose. Plush and expansive on the palate, offering juicy dark berry, bitter cherry, fruitcake and cracked pepper flavors and a sweetening hint of cola. Gently chewy tannins build slowly on the persistent finish, which echoes the cherry and spice notes.

Marked by scents of clove, pepper and allspice, the 2018 Crozes Hermitage Domaine des Grands Chemins delivers ample spice-driven complexity layered over a base of cherry fruit. It's medium-bodied and silky, with deftly managed tannins that leave an impression of soft dustiness on the savory, olive-tinged finish.
As to the Northern Rhônes, 2018 is clearly an impressive vintage for this estate. The 2018 Crozes-Hermitage Domaine Des Grands Chemins reveals a deep ruby/purple hue as well as classic Northern Rhône Syrah notes of darker, earthy fruits, ground pepper, violets, and spice. It's elegant, medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced, and has moderate tannins, all making for an already delicious, impeccably made wine. Drink bottles over the coming 8-10 years.
Lively aromas of fresh cherry and dark berries, candied flowers, cracked pepper and smoky minerals. Juicy and seamless in the mouth, offering bitter cherry, black raspberry and spicecake flavors that show fine detail and become sweeter as the wine stretches out. Finishes on a building floral note, displaying strong tenacity, well-knit tannins and repeating cherry and spice notes.
