PnP. Better once it got 30-45 min of air. Deep garnet. Very muted nose. Blackberries, light licorice, and a hint of pepper in the background. Medium/mellow tannins with a hint of acidity up front. Definitely a Crozes off the Galets though with the powdery gravel feel mixed in the finish rather than the solidness of granite. Another 6-12 months and its score will probably improve a bit. Not certain it is quite all the way out of its closed state yet.

PnP, with muted aromas and flavors of black raspberry, tar, and black licorice, with hints of black pepper in the background. A chalky tannic note lingers on the medium finish.

A well balanced wine with lots of soft dark fruit, no need to decant. Blackcurrant, blackberry, blueberry , smoke. Smooth tannins. Very enjoyable and good value, this wine is getting even better now, recommended.
