Community Tasting Note

    December 30, 2019 - Popped and poured
    Single piece, long cork
    No sign of seepage.
    Tasted over 24h.

    More restrained syrah than the 2003 crozes-hermitage bottling which bordered on cloying stewed fruit.
    Pepper and violet aromas.
    Balanced palate with good acidity for a warm vintage. Fruit still primary, mostly blackberry to my taste. Decent length and acidity.
    Solid value, if slightly lacking character. A good effort considering the vintage.
    Drink or hold to 2024, limited upside anticipated based on both our opinions.
