Seems to be oxidized with a bizarre mix of bret and almost "cooked" notes. Seems to suggest a storage problem - but seems unlikely given how well other bottles in same bin are doing.

Quite nice for a Crozes, this is dense and rhoney. Lots of non fruit things going on here, quite a mouthful but nothing I would consider not correct. Earth, pepper, I can dig figs as someone else said, a little camphor but not bad, overall a very nice bottle of northern rhone syrah that is of place yet not cornas or cote rotie. Nothing wrong with this!!

fine but nothing special. a raisin-y character comes out after 24 hours of airtime, not what i expected given the writeup from garagiste.
