nose - limes, roasted oats - smells a bit oxidised. it's a very dark colour Roasted, touch of bitterness, creamy, touch of sherry - def. a bit oxidised, nutty, some marmalade, some VA Shame it's oxidised as it was probably once quite nice

Great wine, at a great QPR for a North Rhone white. Hadn't heard of a Crozes Hermitage white before trying this. Grapefruit and pure stone on the nose. Classic Marsanne waxiness whch then coats your mouth with a big, big feeling. Little touch of oxidation, which usually is a turn off, but was in context with this wine. Punching well above its pirce class, this was a good North Rhone wite.
