Taffy-on-Tour Likes this wine: 91 points
May 18, 2019 - Took several hours in the decanter to show well. Good blackberry nose with red/black fruit on the palate which lengthened appreciably with time. I also got the "slatey" taste which I have read about but not before encountered. This wine might have "Taffy" associations?!? lol Not your modern fruit driven Crozes, more a semi-intellectual and serious wine that none the less was highly enjoyable. This was my first Cosme Crozes, normally I buy their upmarket Gigondas. This was impressive and cheap at £15 bottle. This was a wine that benefited from time in the cellar, I do not normally keep Crozes for 8 years, maybe a lesson for many of us!??! My opinion is that this Crozes is terrific now, it may get a bit better but if you have some, throat a bottle and decide yourself. I have 2 more bottles and will drink them before the end of the year.
