April 25, 2022 - Virtually identical notes to my first tasting below. Better on day 1 than on day 2.
(10/4/2020) Almost impenetrably red. Slight reduction in the nose, indicating a lack of oxygen during fermentation. Hopefully, this will go away with time. No oak detected, unlike Emmanuel Darnaud's other wines <https://www.domainedarnaud.com>. Good stuff, but needs at least 2 more years to integrate. -

June 21, 2020 - Best Crozes Hermitage I’ve had. Big, but elegantly proportioned and smooth.
