PnP. Easy, fun and smooth like Crozes was in the ‘90s. Simple fruited nose, filled the palate w ted berries but not fruit forward. Few sot Tannins on the back end.

PnP. Better once it got 30-45 min of air. Deep garnet. Very muted nose. Blackberries, light licorice, and a hint of pepper in the background. Medium/mellow tannins with a hint of acidity up front. Definitely a Crozes off the Galets though with the powdery gravel feel mixed in the finish rather than the solidness of granite. Another 6-12 months and its score will probably improve a bit. Not certain it is quite all the way out of its closed state yet.
