Community Tasting Notes 26

  February 16, 2024 - I've had this at least a dozen times over the years, but this is the first time (that I remember) that it dropped most of its tannins. Very soft and smooth and still fruity. Dark and rich. Nuanced, but its not super complex though its possible with 5 more years this will develop. What a bargain! Drank over 2 nights (as usual stored overnight in the refrigerator). Pretty much the same both nights.

  November 12, 2023 - 92-92 what a pleasent surprise in a blind tasting of northern Rhone wines. This stood out despite the fact that it was the cheapest wine on the list. It's stupendous! Dark fruit, tightly woven structure yet so soft and elegant. Also those typical notes of blood, iron and smoked meat. Drink now or in the next 5 years. I'm going to find more of this.

  November 10, 2023 - Beautiful nose out of the gates - pnp - funk, leather, earth with hints of menthol - great acidity while tannins are present but relative light (at least now) - I think the fruit will fill out a bit more but very nice so far - no signs of age - this has plenty of life ahead of it and I will probably let my others rest for another 3-5 years… Very Good

  September 20, 2022 - A very dark colour; the palate is full and quite meaty, with dark fruits (blackberry/damson), a well-rounded texture and good length. Reasonably mature but will keep. A very impressive Crozes.

  September 16, 2022 - Similar to previous notes, drinking great and no hurry to consume. I love Graillot Crozes Hermitage and view it as reference standard for that appellation, this is almost as good as Graillot’s version.
