  Een zekere typiciteit is merkbaar, hetgeen veel is in deze veel te grote appellation. Zwarte peper en viooltjes van de Syrah uit de noordelijke Rhone in de neus, evenwichtig en niet over extracten, mocht wel nog wat meer zuren hebben in de mond maar zeker beter dan de gemiddelde crozes.

  My Grade: EX. Full-bodied and delicious Crozes. Dark, opaque ruby in the glass, nose of plums, bright red fruit, barnyard, crushed rocks, Strawberry sherbert. On the Palate: mouth-filling fruit with plums, tart blackberries, black pepper, hint of dried figs, leather notes, nice minerality, medium-low acidity, long finish of dried plums and apricots. Very well made, classic Crozes Syrah.

  Red and black berries, spice and herbs. Drink now although it has a few years left. Decanted for am hour. Went well with well seasoned grilled chicken.

  Fruity. Raisin and plums. Almost punch-like in an enjoyable, summery way

  A youthful and delicious Crozes, with lovely black and red fruit, black pepper and smoky wood, cool minerality, a pure and clean Syrah character, gentle tannins, perfectly judged extraction, juicy and fresh, red meat, energetic and well-balanced, good length. Expertly made for drinking relatively young - but should easily last until 2020.
