Tuesday, January 9, 2024 - Fairly deep color with little browning after 29 years.
Intense nose with evolved plum and white pepper notes.
when first opened, it came across fairly rustic, in a positive sense, with earthy and spicy notes and still some tannin.
Re-tasted the next day, it came across softer and more complex and less rustic. This suggests a decanting would be in order now.
There is just a hint that the fruit will start to dry up, so I would say drink within the next couple of years.
Quite extraordinary for a Crozes...
