Quite serious for a Crozes with lots of depth and structure. There is lovely dark berry fruit along with a smooth, savory texture and tons of crunchy acidity. The finish is still tannic showing subtle notes of smoky spices, olive tapenade, mint and bacon fat. The purity in this wine for the price is really quite amazing and this should be special in another 5-10 years. About a decade ago I had a bottle of the '59 which was fabulous so the track record for aging here kinda defies logic. 92+

Peppery, still some fruit left. Had it after a chilli con carne
