  Definitely a fuller and plump Crozes Hermitage with a lot of dark fruit and hints of meat, rosemary, and sage. The palate is full but has some definite baby fat with a tough of lack of definition in the mid-palate and finish. It is definitely drinkable now, but I think it’ll get better as time as a little bit of the fruit takes a backseat. Still, good now, but better later.

  Opened but did not need to decant - was accessible on opening. Dark, inky-crimson color with a purple hue. Nose brings purple lavender, tar, crushed gravel, beef stock, and grape hard candy. The palate is medium, round, supple, and juicy, bringing a firm core of fresh blueberries, chocolate cherries, some blackcurrant, and wild blackberries mixed with campfire, hints of cloves, and teasers of bright red cherries on the finish. Even though though the palate is accessible, the tail is still tannic and a little hot. Try now, or drink 2025-2035. Technical score: 92. Enjoyment score: 92.

  Dark purple. Smoked meat and black fruit. Very delicious, and surprisingly generous right out of the bottle given its infancy.
