  Tar and blackcurrant immediately on nose, rich fruit in an integrated palate. Good to drink now and have pushed the score up a little considering it’s VFM.

  Très belle tenue dans le temps pour ce « petit » Crozes. Tout était en place ce soir, légèrement évolué, encore une belle acidité pour faire vibrer l’ensemble mais sans dureté. Encore du fruit avec des arômes tertiaires commencent à pointer. Il ne se bonifiera plus, très bon à excellent maintenant.
  Bouchon en parfaite condition.

  Belle tenue.
  L’acidité tient le tout ensemble. Aucune trace d’évolution.
  Initialement fermé, il s’est ouvert après environ 60 minutes, alors sur les épices douces, petit côté minéral, fruits bleus...
  Très bien!

  No age on rim, quite closed nose initially but with lots of rich spicy fruit (plums / cinnamon) on the palate, long, soft tannins, easy to drink but nothing to grab the attention.

  Deep- black cherry. Distinct aromas of fresh black cherry, blackberry, mulberry, violets, even rhubarb, alongside garrigue notes.
  There is a surprisingly fresh entry on the palate with lemon-edged acidity that balances nicely with the ripe fruit: redcurrant, mulberry and black cherry. The fruit is supported by elements of wild fennel, black olive and black pepper.
  There is a certain rawness and sinewyness to the mid-palate and whilst there is some richness given the riper 2009, the wine seems a little flat or monochrome. Feral notes also start to build as the wine opens. I just didn't find the wine that exciting.
