  Like tasting wine in a late 1980's bowling alley. But in a pleasant nostalgic way. Menthol cigarette ash and meaty greasy hamburgers. A fun wine to try at this evolution of its life.

  My second of 2 bottles of this wine and this bottle is much better than the one I drank 11 years ago. No marks of oak now, deep, dark-fruited palate with marks of olives, smoke and a hint of chocolate. Surprisingly, this takes a good hour a so to fully open up. A well made, perfectly agreeable Crozes.

  Cellaraid Discovery Box; 5/19/2017-5/26/2021 (Delivered to Home): Huge depth and rubied, and nose very pronounced of blueberry and cassis, and some honey and vanilla. Full bodied, intense, with still some acid and tannins, and quite some alcohol heat. Cassis, strawberry jam, pepper, cloves, liquorice, chocolate, coffee, stew. Great power and length. Wow...

  Hmm, not sure what to make of this wine. There seem to be new oak at use here and the first night I got too much chocholate on the nose and palate. On the second day, however, the oak flavors have settled a bit and there's a smoky, earthy side to the wine which is okay and there is a bit of blackberry fruit too. It's a serious Crozes this one. I have another bottle which I will save for 5 years and see what happens. Not a wine I would buy again.

  This is a gorgeous Rhone. Decanted for 45 minutes. Beautiful deep red color in the glass. The wine really opened up with the decanting. Full aromas of dark berries, woody herbs, and dried fruit. Very rich, almost intoxicating in the nose. In the mouth there is an explosion of ripe flavors -- dark berry and cherry, dried cranberry, fine leather, and plenty of earthiness. This had a mouthful to chew on. Very soft tannins in the finish, though it lingered. The wine is in its prime and needs to be consumed now.
