Stunning bargain Crozes-Hermitage - soft nose with big fruity almost sweet palate with redcurrant and blackberry with spices - clove nutmeg etc long palate finishing well. Delicious.

Dark red color. Very vivid aromas of blackberry, cassis, and aromatic herbs. The flavor is well balanced between blackberry pie and leather. Herbs continue in the finish. Mildly tannic. Some said it had a bitter taste, but that did not bother me at all. I think it is at its peak now.

A gift bottle that I let sit around for years---low expectations kept me from opening it sooner. But---pretty damn good. Textbook black cherry and black pepper Syrah nose. On palate, surprisingly youthful, juicy cherry fruit---first impression suggested a rich New World Pinot. But with a little air the unmistakable Syrah-ness emerged. Well done, and I imagine it's pretty value-priced.

Nice c-h and good value wine. On the nose dark fruit, cherries, earthy and smoked wood. Still drinking ok, but, alas, my last bottle. Enjoyable and nice wine

Nice Crozez-Herm. Dark fruit, cedar nose, but a bit thin on fruit when drinking. No need to keep this much longer i think.
